Because of the shame of HIV infection, people are afraid to be tested.....patients are not diagnosed until the disease is very far advanced.....These patients may continue to unknowingly infect other people and will not receive the necessary treatment to control their disease until it is too late for it to be effective......even patients who are diagnosed HIV-positive early on are not always notified in a timely manner, which means that their treatment is often delayed........the backlog for notifying infected patients can be as long as three or four years...... opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis and hepatitis are not being given the importance they deserve.
