HIV/AIDS

I think HIV/AIDS is a serious problem and people should spend more time helping the cause because its a terrible disease to have and to live with. A way for the cause to be helped is to have a contest to see who can donate the most money to HIV/AIDS. There can be commercials and ads on T.V to explain how they can help the cause. I think that everyone is canada and the united states should donate at least 10 dollars to help with HIV/AIDS research. I think it is very important that more money goes to HIV/ AIDS research so the disease can be cured.

HIV/AIDS

People around the world are infected by a disease known as HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is a disease the weakens the immune system. The immune system fights intruding organisms. Without the immune system your body cannot function properly. This horrible disease does not have a cure yet but luckily there is are drug cocktails that keep the symptoms down. Africa is the continent with the largest amount of infected people. Africa is also very poor and the drug cocktails are very expensive so because the majority of the infected cannot be treated the infected numbers continue to grow. Not enough money is being spent on finding the cure and the cost of the drug cocktails is too great.

Helping HIV/AIDS

It is estimated that there are 40 million people around the world that are living with HIV/AIDS today. United Nation agency says that in the future at least 68 million people will die from this disease. To prevent HIV/AIDS from getting worst then it is today, I think we need to donate as much money as it takes to find a cure to control this disease.

There is no medication to stop this disease right now but there is a mixture of drugs, referred to as "drug cocktails." This does not cure the disease but it keeps a person from living a longer life. Scientist need money to find a cure to control HIV/AIDS. If we donate it could give them a lot more help and let them find a cure quicker. Think about the kids that are suffering with HIV/AIDS right now. When they get older the future is in their hands to keep the earth from getting away from its normal routine. Right now adults are responsible of the earth now for their children to enjoy in the future.

We need to donate as much money as it takes to find a cure to control this disease. If we helped and donate we would probably save many lives. Not everyone will be cured but less people would have the disease and what the United Nation agency is predicting is doubtful to happen.

Question 4- HIV/AIDS sheet

I don't know or ever met someone with aids so I don't know the true damage done on their lives. But if its as bad as everyone says it is, then I definitely think that we should spend a lot of our money in a cure. There are many reasons. One of them is that, people who were born with it usually die at a younger age or spread it to other humans. Another is that if we let this disease infect more and more people, then more and more people will die. It will be the black death all over again. Except this time, humanity may be wiped out. It is a possibility. But don't worry too much. Just give lots of money to the HIV/AIDS foundation. The chance of an AIDS apocalypse is much more likely then the sun exploding or a zombie apocalypse. I don't know if zombies are real, but I'm not taking any chances. So pay lots of money to the AIDS foundation, Load your guns and make sure you wear sunscreen because there is a lot of trouble coming.

Black Death & HIV/AIDS

Human Immunodeficiency virus, also known as HIV/AIDS, is a horrible disease that needs to be brought under more control. I strongly agree with having more money going towards this. Canada has set lots of goals for this. They are doing there best to prevent new infections and slow the progression of the disease. Also, to reduce the social and ecomic impact of it. You cannot get HIV/AIDS from holding hands, hugging or other casual contact. It spreads by unprotected intercourse, sharing needles, such as those to inject drugs, steroids or even those used for tattoos. People with another sexually transmitted disease, are at greater risk for getting HIV/AIDS during sex with infected parteners. There is an estimate of 42 million people living with HIV/AIDS. The first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in Africa in the early 1980's. It has now spread worldwide. There is no official cure for this, but in some cases, it can be put under control with medication. A mixture of drugs referred to as, "drug cocktails" can be effective. The president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, has warned that poverty is the worlds biggest killer because people cannot afford to buy the drugs they need. The UNAIDS (united nations), estimates of numbers of people who could become infected in the future, may have to be re estimated to a greater number. This agency also researches the spread of HIV/AIDS and it believes that over the next two decades, at least 68 million people will die of HIV/AIDS. The majority of these deaths will occur in the poorest countries in the world. Africa is the continent hardest hit by this disease. I think there are many ways we can stop this by fundraising, such as a telethon, a walk or marathon for the cure, or even paying a small amount of money in your everyday life, to go towards the cure. This is very important to help fix this, and I think everyone should pitch in to make this happen!

HIV/Aids in Africa

I think we should definitely pay more money to try and cure aids. It's an extreme disease that I, and many others, wish to be cured. It's ruined so many children's lives in Africa and others that are living here! Aids can kill you, so why don't we have a cure yet? I think that we all, as people, should donate more money. I would be willing to do a bottle drive, sell something, or even just earn money to donate. This is a horrible disease and I really do feel bad for anybody who either has it or has a friend or family member who has it.
I think we should spend more money on this because it's really sad and something I think most people find really disturbing. Just in Sub-Saharan there are an estimated 22.4 million people living with aids. That's about two thirds of the whole globe of people that are living with it. Just to make you realize how bad it is, since this pandemic has started, more then 14 million children have lost one or both of their parents to aids. If nothing changes, the number of deaths will only rise to higher numbers. If we donate now, we may be able to help. We can help with education and money and maybe even get a cure one day.

Should More Money be Spent on HIV/AIDS?

I think that more money should be spent on the HIV/AIDS because, if we don't take care of the problem now,(in its early forms) then it will spread from nation to nation, country to country killing billions and billions of people. If that happens, however, we will lose great numbers in the population. Now, that might happen, and if it does there will only be a few thousand of us left, which means less and less stuff might not get invented for the future, education for children, on the other hand, will be having major problems with the government officials and other people. Humanity would be at one of its most horrible events ever.

hiv give some money to help them

There are millions of humans dying from HIV and the disease is in every country. The worst country for HIV is Africa and they are so poor we need to help them. Canada should give extra money out to them and help the HIV spread to a end now. Canada is trying to help them in there hour of need please help them. You can help by donating money to them. this would stop HIV once and for all.
This is what HIV does to you

HIV/AIDS & Black Death.

I believe we should spend more money on medicine for the cure of HIV/AIDS because it would save alot of peoples lives. This disease is sprended very easily especially if you have a parent with HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS first reportly started in Africa in the 1980's and spread to North America & Europe then finallyh spreaded worldwide. A young child could HIV/AIDS just because her/his mother or father has the disease.HIV/AIDS has killed many people in the past and can kill more people in the future if they d0n't eventually make a cure for this terrible disease. Some children are abandoned by there parents who have died from HIV/AIDS and now have to live with there grandparents which sometimes can slowly be dieing. Right now in Sub-Saharan Africa there are currently 22.4 million people with HIV which is around two thirds of the total population. In 2008, 1.4 million people died from AIDS and 1.9 million came infected with HIV. Since the beginning of this horrible disease, 14 million children have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS. Everyone in the world should do something towards the start of a campaign or fundraiser to finally try to make a cure for HIV/AIDS and hopefully a smart scientist will make a medicine or vaccine for it. The Black Death was a epidemic in the middle 14th century but I think HIV/AIDS now is way worse than the black death back than.HIV/AIDS should have a medicine made to cure it very soon.

HIV/AIDS

More money should definitely be spent on finding a way to help the HIV/AIDS situation because researchers have predicted that at least 68 million people will die from the disease in the next two decades. Most of the deaths will occur in the third world countries, and it is estimated that 39 percent of adults in just Botswana are infected. This disease is spreading fast.

Out of the 40 million people in the world are living with HIV/AIDS, 3 million are children. This is horrible because these children will be the next generation of people in the world, and it is extremely important that they do not have to go through this. They need to be alive to experience the world, it's not fair that they get this disease. There is not enough money spent on trying to fix this, and it is crucial that it be controlled.

If we spend more money on HIV/AIDS, then people who are suffering could receive "drug cocktails" or mixtures of medication that can drastically help the disease. With more money, we could create and distribute many more of these- the downside is that they are very expensive. Many sufferers cannot afford such a thing, and I think that it is not fair that some people receive the cocktails and some don't. This is another good reason why people need to pay attention and why more money should be spent, instead of useless things like war.

Another thing we could do is educate the people in Africa and explain to them how HIV/AIDS is transmitted, what it is, and what they can do to help. Even taking a few minutes to explain why sharing hypodermic needles is not a good idea, can help at least one person in the future. Isn't that what we're trying to do, help people realise and be safe?

To get more money for this cause, we need to get our point across and let people know that this is serious business. There are simple fundraisers that take basically no planning, and there are also larger events that can be planned out to raise money. Things like fairs, movie nights and other such events can be planned with larger groups, and in schools an HIV/AIDS day could be planned where everyone brings in, say, a dollar. You can even make your own event, by yourself, and go around doing something like collecting cans and donating the money received from recycling them to charity. If we take action- if each one of us does something, even if it is small, we could change the world's HIV/AIDS pandemic.
