The flu can be prevented too. Wear masks, wash your hands, stand 6 feet away from people. Have a healthy lifestyle that gives you a strong immune system. Both are communicable viral diseases so the comparison does stand.

Also, Asia and Eastern Europe are now the regions with the fastest growing rate of HIV infection, Africa however has the largest number of people living with the disease. There is a difference.
