Aids Pandemic
|
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. As of 2009, it is estimated that there are 33.3 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS, with 2.6 million new HIV infections per year and 1.8 million annual deaths due to AIDS. 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 Schwartz), less than 10 percent of infected are reported to have access to it. According to some researchers and institutions the situation is more serious than the UNAIDS figures suggest, the epidemic is accelerating and a second wave is developing. From Wikipedia under the

Q. It is fairly limited in the way it can be spread. It's not airborne, can't be transmitted through water or food and it's questionable whether it travells the species barrier. Won't this limit its spread? Asked by purplepeace59 - Wed Apr 11 13:54:41 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Considering that it has already killed over 25 million people since it was first diagnosed in 1981, I would say it is a pandemic already. It's all about education and giving people access to resource (ie: condoms for protected sex) that will help stop the spread of this disease.
