About This Quote
Fear can be a useful emotion. At times, it can motivate us to take actions that are necessary for our survival. However, fear is often exaggerated by the media and others in positions of power. For instance, one of the most common fears that people have is that they will become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
However, new research shows that it takes an average of 11 years for someone to become infected with HIV, and it takes another 10 for the virus to cause illness or death. This is true whether someone has sex with multiple partners or uses a condom every time, the only way to avoid infection is by not having sex at all.
