Tobra. 100% preventable, eh? From my perspective the spread of HIV can be substantially reduced through a multi-pronged strategy involving education, condoms, etc. But to be truly, mathematically, 100% prevented, humans would need to stop having sex and also stop receiving blood transfusions. I wonder whether you recognize this or not.

A particular individual, let's say a happily married man, might think he has eliminated 100% of the risk. Because he's very confident that his wife does not have, and will not contract the virus. But frankly, statistically, in reality, while he would be very confident, he would not be 100% confident.
