HIV is a serious immune deficiency virus that affects countless individuals throughout the world, including countries in Africa, India, the US, and China. Research to find a cure for the disease has lead to a number of treatments and adjuvant therapies that prolong the life of the individual tremendously. The result being that an HIV diagnosis no longer attributes to a death sentence.
Unfortunately for many countries within Africa, where even the basic of medical necessities are a rarity, HIV treatments are unheard of. These countries cannot afford medication for it's citizens and rely on foreign organizations for assistance. There are also public awareness committees that inform men and women about practicing safe sex, never to share needles, and countless other preventative measures to maintain their health.
There is evidence alone in the numbers and statistics of individuals suffering from HIV, that further research is needed to develop more efficient therapies and that more aid should be available to countries less fortunate.
