It is easy to blame the Internet today for all the ills of the society–crime, violence, the wave of shootings, and whatnot. But to pin the blame of an increasing number of HIV cases in the country to the rise of social networks is just plain, er, baseless. It is just like blaming TV violence for the rise of criminality. It really does not follow. You are what you are no matter if you’re online or offline. You’re online behavior in most cases reflects your real-world behavior. While social networks have made it easy to connect with other people, it has not really translated to the rise of HIV cases in the Philippines. The article itself says that there are no studies to prove this connection.
