Some people think that Africa is the only continent mainly suffering from it but the truth is that it’s really a global problem that can effect anyone    Gives some background of what is AIDS and what it can do to your body and how there is no cure yet for it

What have I learned so far about my topic?

AIDS can affect every body system.AIDS is the most advanced stages of HIV.
Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV.AIDS is diagnosed after T cell counts reach a dangerously low level and blood tests confirm the presence of antibodies to HIV, indicating that the virus is present in the body. Symptoms of AIDS may not appear for like 5 years or more after being infected with HIV.

Why did i chose AIDS as my topic?

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is the final stage of HIV infection. People at this stage of HIV disease have badly damaged immune systems.Humans probably came in contact with HIV when they hunted and ate infected animals. Recent studies indicate that HIV may have jumped from monkeys to humans as far back as the late 1800s. HIV/AIDS have spread throughout the world.Worst of all is that there is no cure to this deadly Virus.AIDS can effect kids,teens,adults,no matter your race,or color of your skin. you have to be careful and watch out for this deadly Virus.You can pervent it!How?Know your own HIV status and your partner's as well,Use condoms,correctly and consistently,and aslo limit your number of sexual partners.By doing this steps you can protect yourself and others.Most people think you can only get AIDS or HIV only if you are sexually active,but they are so wrong!True most people who get HIV is by having unprotected sex,but they are other ways as well as to how you can also get infected.You can get AIDS during pregnancy,childbirth,breastfeeding,infecting drug,useblood transfusion with infected blood or an organ transplant.AIDS is so common now and days but i never would imagine someone so close to my family would have it. This was my main reason for picking this topic.Its hard having to live with this every single day.You have to be taken up to 30pills or even more everday.Most of my family dont really visit him thinking they can get AIDS as well.But the truth is that you cant!You can actually live with that person,go out to places,even eat from their food with out no worries!People with AIDS should not be discriminated for their illness!!!
