				| Unfortunately yes, but then we all know how you can get this disease and also how to avoid getting it so ultimately it's up to every individual!This is just another one of the many problems facing Russia today, despite the petro-and gas dollars which are lining the pockets of a tiny few! |  |

 And despite all of these problems people still work and try to live there...maybe I am insane for wanting to try it out...at least I know that it is dangerous, corrupt and all that jazz...know what I am getting myself into...and it is still the best place to learn Russian...

				| I've been here for years, have taken multiple tests, and always negative. My little secret? I'm monogamous and avoid giving or receiving blood...
 It's possible to worry too much about something. The news ALWAYS reports the bad stuff, and almost never the good stuff. There'll always be problems, anywhere you go...
 (Not that I'm particularly selling Russia, but hey, I live here and I know it's not that bad.)
