As i have gone through and research about this sickness i dont come across who have it but i belive it exist,cuase those people who sit and find out about this sickness are not stubid but want to save the world.
I have seen maney sickness that have medicin but onley this so i belive becouse of too much of sin we are course by GOD,the only way i belive we can fight this sickness is to stop funication and the married men and women should be honest with each other i belive if they are upright and honest with each other then there will be no such type of sick.
cuase here in africa i tell you there are maney people out there who dont know about this and even they here they will denie you totally and to help fight this sickness the international body have to work with youths thats spoke different type of languages that will be able to reach the list man list village and educate them about this so that they will understand and know how to protect them self.
we really need to work fast particular africa

I know something abot this disease too.Here in India also it is a similar matter of concern.To make the matter worst we in India don't talk on sex as people do in other countries.Many people even don't know that they are carrying the virus.The main problem with the disease is lack of education and changing life style.What people need to do is to talk freely about it and clarify all the doubts.Because there are casesw where even the doctors refuses to treat a HIV+ patient.
One more thing that I want to clarify at this stage is that being a HIV+ patient doesn't means that you have AIDS.AIDS is the final stage of the disease where the patient looses his/ her imunity power.
People need to be more careful about there lifes coz even blood tranfusion can led to the disease.
Let's hope one day the new sun will rise and we will have a AIDS free world.

I'm sorry if this is taking it the wrong way, but are you saying this disease is a God sent plague for the sins of the world?
These kinds of statements (like the famously ignorant Edwina Currie's: 'Good Christians won’t get Aids') are worrying.
To simply put it, ideas like this are harmful to HIV/AIDS sufferers and us as a global society. If people think of victims of the disease as something akin to criminals in Gods eyes then how will we ever unite to combat this pandemic? No one deserves to develop AIDS and the idea that an all loving God would inflict it on us worries me a bit. Anyway, thats far too into ethics than it is into health so I'll stop now.

AIDS is not a plague, i agree with you. How do people deserve that gay or straight...it doesnt matter. It is a painful sickness for those who have it without medicine to help in any matter. I cant imagine what those people go through every day, and you think they deserve it for sins they commit. No one deserves that, im sorry to say. People deserve a fair shot at life with some ease, not a life filled with pain.

hi, I think it's so wrong to think that people with AIDS are cursed by God.We are all God children and he don't differenciate.We could be more caring to them more carefull to this people to make them comfortable and let them lead a good life because doing so we can prove our selves to be a good human being.If the educated mass behave like this what we can ascept from the illliterates.

HIV/AIDS. is existent and the cause or determinant of the disease in terms of its been a plague or punishment is inconsequential. determining the cause of the disease should only go as far as to determine the cure of the disease. we ought to deliberate more on how infection can be avoided, if infected, what can be done to strenghten the immune system, and most importantly research in our own ways how to eradicate this syndrome

Hong Kong and China's Guangdong province will increase joint HIV surveillance and prevention efforts, which they began in 2003, to reduce the spread of the virus after both governments reported record numbers of HIV cases in 2006, China Daily reports. According to China Daily, the Hong Kong Department of Health reported 373 new HIV cases last year, an increase of 19% from 313 cases reported in 2005. Guangdong reported 4,823 new HIV cases from January 2006 to October 2006, an increase of 8.4% from the same period in 2005, China Daily reports. According to Yu Dewen, spokesperson for the Guangdong health authority, because many new HIV cases are transmitted sexually, the two health departments will "launch a series of education campaigns to increase public awareness" about HIV/AIDS. Lo Wing-lok, a microbiologist from Hong Kong, said that both governments should increase their HIV education campaigns. "The public must be made aware that AIDS is a serious disease that can leave them unable to work and puts a heavy burden on their families," Lo said, adding, "They should also know that the medicines used to treat the disease have side effects." Lo also said that the governments should offer access to no-cost checkups to Hong Kong men living on the mainland and to commercial sex workers in Hong Kong. Lo said that all sex workers previously had access to no-cost medical care, but a new policy requires nonresidents to pay for health services, which cost about $128. According to Lo, the new policy "discourages" sex workers from seeking medical care and creates a "greater public health risk." Guangdong offers medical checkups and treatment for HIV-positive people from both Guangdong and Hong Kong at 145 hospitals, according to China Daily. In addition, the Hong Kong health department has established centers in 13 cities throughout the region to track and monitor HIV, China Daily reports (Ng/Qiu, China Daily, 3/21).
let try and find solution to this sick.

When two people make love, all the forces of the Universe come together to create something, a child, healing, or art. However, often people just want the physical pleasure and suppress the emotional, mental, spiritual and love aspects of their experience. This is when disease tends to creap in.

What in heavens was that, Ellis? As uncomplicated as you want it to sound, sex is a complicated relationship element and affects every facet of your personality, physical, mental and emotional, whether you wish it or not. Even pure pleasure seekers create 'children, healing or art' inadvertently. It's the reason we have illegitimates, single parenthood, leaked celebrity sex videos and whatever else qualifies for unintended consequences. The point is that HIV/AIDS also can attack well-meaning couples as well, even savage the sanctity of matrimony, where carelessness abides...

Dear Ellis,
I think you got it wrong.Sex do bring many thing to the world but an unprotected sex whether done out of love or just for pleasure can bring the equal amount of pain in terms of STD.What most is needed is to accept the fact that we need to be carefull about this and shouls have proper knowledge and protection too.

HIV/AIDS is not a heaven sent plague for our sins or a virus to be blamed soley on the acts of sex.
Let's face it. In our very real world, HIV/AIDS is a virus that can infect any one of us, regardless of how much we believe in a God and despite the fact that we pursue a monogamous relationship with someone we love. That possibility doesn't change in this very real world unless we continuously educate and improve those educational teachings about how it's transmitted (through blood, by needle, sex, cuts, etc) and how to take preventative measures.
Since everyone seems to be so focused on sex, let's talk about it. Sex is a very natural part of who we are as human beings. It doesn't matter who you are; sexual urges lie within all of us and that's something that we shouldn't feel guilty about. Those tendencies were created in our genes by nature. That being said, if you're an individual who believe in waiting before marriage, that is completely respectable. I just think pushing people towards abstinence is unrealistic and is not an effective preventative measure.
And don't forget that there's TONS of other ways of being infected that everyone forgets. What about drug users who are infected by sharing needles? What about those struck in poverty who search garbage dumps for used needles and metals to re-sell? What about hospitals in poor villages that use unchecked blood from donors who carry HIV/AIDS for blood transfusions? Or poor health and safety regulations in factories and workplaces?
Proper education and appropriate medical resources and facilities are key to prevention and treatment in our societies today.

HIV/AIDS is rapidly killing all our youth as well as our parents in the continent of Africa and this will adversely affect the majority of the people that contributes and will contribute to the economy in future.Our youth and parents are dying of HIV/AIDS thus leaving behind children for the weak and frail (the elderly) to take care of the children left behind.With no income or very low income, the old can not afford to send the orphans to school therefore they are succumb to poverty which drives the women to prostitution so as to earn a living and support their young siblings.With prostitution the spread of HIV/AIDS will continue to increase and thus it will be difficult to have an effective solution to it.
In Africa due to the prevalent cultural values, most people do not talk about sex and promiscuity so this really affects our people.On the other hand they do not believe that HIV/AIDS is contracted through sex. most traditional people think that it is a curse or witchcraft and everyone is in denial of the main cause of it therefore making it hard to educate people because they are not open to the new information they are being taught.
For those of us who are knowledgeable about the disease ,we should all join hands together and educate and help our people in prevention of this disease and for those who already have the disease we should implement projects projects to make them more self-sufficient so as to enhance better living condition and longer life.
