A Struggle to Contain An Epidemic?

Reuters News Agency is reporting today that the nation's capitol is "struggling to contain" an aids epidemic, a problem it calls "complex."

"3 percent of the city's residents are infected with HIV. Officials believe the true figure is even higher.

While sex between men was the top cause, accounting for 37 percent of cases, heterosexual sex led to 28 percent of cases and injection drug use to 18 percent, according to the report."

Doesn't sound too complex to me. If people would stop engaging in risky behavior, the epidemic problem would be solved.
