Whats even more demonic about Brazil is how even their health care seeks to prevent AIDS among homosexuals yet increases it among Black people. I guess because so much of their tourism depends on demons from other nations who need to fulfill homosexual urges with men in Brazil that they took it upon themselves to make sure their homosexuals are nice and clean so they dont infect tourists with AIDS. Wow, its so demonic, friends. 
For evidence of Brazil's success, consider the following. Aggressive national prevention campaigns for high-risk groups have contributed to a sharp decline of HIV/AIDS cases in Brazil. Because of the creation of national prevention programs targeting gay men and women, in 2002 and 2007, respectively, Brazil has seen a dramatic decline in HIV/AIDS cases among gay men, from 3,376 in 1996 to 647 in 2009, and among women, from 7,419 in 1996 to 2,034 in 2009.
In contrast, infection among the highest at-risk groups in the United States, currently African Americans and gay men, remains elevated: in 1998, 20,672 new cases were reported among African Americans, increasing to 21,549 in 2009, while 17,357 cases were reported for gay men in 1998, falling only to 14,383 in 2009.
Considering the fact that Brazil was a military dictatorship with a highly unequal distribution of health care coverage less then 20 years ago, how did it pull this off?
Start by following the money trail. Brazil's allocation of congressional funding, while lower than in the United States, has risen steadily. From 2000 to 2007, the Brazilian congress nearly doubled the amount committed to fighting AIDS -- from 713,000 Brazilian reais to 1.3 billion in 2007. (A real is worth approximately 63 cents.) U.S. spending has risen at a slower rate.
