The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic is a widespread disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Since AIDS was first recognized in 1981, it has led to the deaths of more than 25 million people, making it one of the most destructive diseases in recorded history. Despite recent improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, in 2007 the AIDS pandemic killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children. In 2007, an estimated 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, with an estimated 2.5 million people newly infected in 2007. This has been attributed to lack of access to antiretroviral treatment in huge areas such as the continent of Africa, where (according to French researcher Olivier Schwarz), less than 10 percent of infected are reported to have access to it. OriginsThe origin of HIV/AIDS has been elucidated by studies of the HIV genome, which indicate that the most common type of HIV (HIV-1) originated in chimpanzees.[6] From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Mandy - Mon Dec 4 11:06:31 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Obviously some people get the AIDS/HIV virus by making bad decisions but it is equally obvious that children born with the disease do not deserve it. Tons of women in Africa get raped all the time by lots of soldiers and they certainly don't deserve that. I'd like to tell some of the underprivileged people in high risk a variety of different things. In Africa I'd like to tell them to stop practicing dry sex and that the children left as orphans are in fact not witches or wizards and they need love and compassion as they miss their parents. I'd like to tell the people here to practice safe sex and take time to know your partner. No, not really. If I were single and having sex then I might be.
