A.I.D.S - The killer disease

I think the most common misunderstanding is that the majority of people with AIDS are gay, it's actually the majority are Africans and there are more straight people with AIDs than gay people (although a higher per centage of gay people have AIDs).

For one in spread through Bodily Fluids. I know one good world wide campaign that has been doing a good job is the ONE Campaign... I think about this often, and keep people world wide in my thoughts and prayers. - DNatureofDTrain

actually AIDS can be cure by take care only.. if we take care and also doctors take care then only this can be done.

AIDS is the most severe manifestation of infection with HIV. HIV is a retrovirus that primarily infects vital components of the human immune system such as CD4+ T cells (a subset of T cells), macrophages and dendritic cells. It directly and indirectly destroys CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells are required for the proper functioning of the immune system. When HIV kills CD4+ T cells so that there are fewer than 200 CD4+ T cells per microliter (µL) of blood, cellular immunity is lost, leading to the condition known as AIDS. Acute HIV infection progresses over time to clinical latent HIV infection and then to early symptomatic HIV infection and later to AIDS, which is identified on the basis of the amount of CD4+ T cells in the blood and the presence of certain infections. In the absence of antiretroviral therapy, the median time of progression from HIV infection to AIDS is nine to ten years, and the median survival time after developing AIDS is only 9.2 months. Well people must act responsibly and spread the word, why only on dec1?

each and every teenager and adults alike should be aware of how dreadful this disease can be!..all they should know is to follow simple steps to protect themselves!..i always use protection!..SAY NO TO AIDS!
