NOT TRUE AT ALL.
They do not contribute to poverty. If you have HIV/AIDS and don't have medical care - you are up the creek without a paddle.
If you have medical care - then you can afford some treament.
Plenty of rich people get HIV and AIDS - it's about participating in those risky behaviours that spread it - not about economics.

I do not think that HIV/AIDS only happens to poor people. Magic Johnson = not poor and has HIV.

HIV/AIDS is very prevalent in the African American community. They make up about 60% of new infections while only constituting 13% of the population. African Americans also have the highest rates of poverty, so maybe you are equating these two facts. A person is probably more likely to engage in risky behavior if they are in poverty and have a lower education level. Treating HIV/AIDS is definitely difficult to do if you are in poverty. For obvious reasons, it's expensive!

HIV isn't, but AIDS is. confused? well let me explain. if you found out you have HIV and have money to get the best nutrition, you can never get AIDS so you continue to live long and healthy like magic Johnson, but if you don't hve money.........if you are poverty, you will get AIDS

Well, it could be if the person doesn't have money or sources to get a condom, OR indeed to get the education they need. Think of all the people in Africa who have it. I bet education and sources are passing them by.

The demographics of AIDS worldwide is largely related to poverty. Poverty is not a cause - impoverished nations lack the infrastructure to provide education about AIDS and STDs in general, they lack medical testing and treatment, and in many poor nations, a condom can't be found anywhere within a hundred miles. In some African nations there are so many people with AIDS that the entire gross national product of the nation is not enough to pay for the medical care, and there are fewer and fewer workers healthy enough to work.
Within a nation such as the US, there is a tendency toward higher rates of HIV toward lower incomes primarily because one of the largest groups of people with HIV are IV drug users, which are people that usually can't hold a steady job. If you remove the IV drug users from the equation, racial and cultural demographics outweigh income.
