People often question why aids are important to try and prevent.

Sadly, Aids is a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body’s cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy.  Aids can be spread from one person to another in various ways such as sharing needles to inject drugs or steroids, having sex with an infected person, or someone with an open wound making direct contact. In some people, the T-Cell decline and opportunistic infection that signal aids develop soon after infection with HIV. But most people do not develop symptoms for 10 to 12 years, or a few might remain symptom-free, for much longer.

Today, there is still no cure or treatment for aids. Experts believe it will be at least a decade before they have a safe, effective, and affordable aids vaccine. Symptoms may include lack of energy, weight loss, frequent fevers and sweats, persistent of frequent yeast infections, persistent skin rashes or flaky skin, short-term memory loss or mouth, genital, or anal sores from herpes infections. Because of this, Aids has killed thousands if not millions of people in the last year.
