There is no persuasive element whatsoever. True but Little Known Facts, however, attempts to be objective and its bullet by bullet approach has the style of a persuasive site -- but, again, because its points are ridiculous, its "minimum bias" and "objectivity" cannot be relied upon.
The content, on the other hand, of True but Little Known Facts appears to be moderately up-to-date, with sources from 2009, 2005, 2001, 1999, and 1993 -- but the sources themselves are incredible (Fybb R. Magee writes an article whose title, in a mix of French and German, can be roughly translated to mean "AIDS in the women and the man; making a hoax") and the documentation ("works sited" [sic]) is poor ("September2005" [sic]) cannot be trusted. Two copyrights exist (another peculiarity) -- one of them being a "copywrite" [sic]; but apparently the hoax website was first created in 1996 and last updated in 2009. Yet, if one stops only at the "copywrite" found under the last source (Donat-Blief, A. Ward), he will find what appears to be the fact that a reputable University (which actually does not exist) has actually produced this website through the "Departure" (not Department) "of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt." All of these details should expose the website as fraudulent and lead one to pursue actual information elsewhere.
But that information should not be pursued at Truthaboutaids.com simply...
True but Little Known Facts also gives little (and false) information -- merely sound bites of insignificant and joke trivia on how women can contract aids or "reduce their risk from AIDS" [sic]. The depth of study is nonexistent.
In conclusion, neither website offers the kind of serious credentials a web researcher should look for when attempting to gather information on the HIV virus. Truthaboutaids.com is a poor search engine that has no credible authority as such, and True but Little Known Facts is an easily accessible but (upon inspection) sadly built site full of misspellings, grammatical errors and fabrications. Neither site, therefore, can be recommended.

The depth of the problem can be seen in the results of a survey reported by Booth, Koester, Brewster, and Weibel (1991) which show that over fifty percent of the subjects injected drugs on a daily basis, while 70% shared needles with other addicts. Only 22% used a disinfectant with their needles every time they injected. It was further found that 86% shared a "cooker" with other users, and
The primary method used by the program will be an advertising campaign that addresses the need for behavioral change by the delivery of a personal message to the target audience, which has been shown to be highly effective in other areas (Singh, 2010). It will also encourage HIV testing and informed status among sexual partners. It will discourage the sharing of needles among IV drug users. The program will
They found a greater risk that appears to be greater among males than females. As noted above, these researchers also recommend that clinicians of HIV-infected patients inquire about well-known modifiable cancer risk factors. For instance, the people who smoke cigarettes, which results in many types of cancer, are known to be higher among the HIV-infected numbers. AIDS patients should also be very careful on maintaining a well-balanced nutritional diet (Shiels).
The problem with using this approach is that anomalies could occur, which will make the figures incorrect. To avoid these kinds of oversights, descriptive statistics is looking at a wide variety of numbers. This allows researchers to corroborate the underlying trends with one another. (Descriptive Statistics 2006) Inferential data is when you are trying to determine what the respondents of the sample are thinking by looking beyond the data. This

A group of writers note about the country, "In 2003, the official HIV prevalence declined to 6.7%. Tuberculosis, other infectious diseases, and malnutrition remain some of the country's biggest public health problems" (Hugenberg, Anjango, Mwita & Opondo, 2007). Because the country experiences so many health concerns, the cost of health care delivery is high. The latest numbers from 2001-2002 indicate that Kenya spends about 5.1% of its Gross Domestic Product
