Q104438

Sexually transmitted diseases or STDs are passed from one person to another by sexual contact ("Sexually Transmitted Diseases"). Some of the most common STDs in the news are HIV and AIDS. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, it is a STD that attacks the immune system and lets other life threatening diseases in. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome this comes from HIV worsening. HIV and AIDS are so common in the news because they are irreversible and deadly. Science Daily states that a treatment and prevention of HIV has been found, but people cannot be helped until they are identified with HIV. This article also states that HIV testing should be done more frequently than mentioned previously. They have also found that treating the patient as soon as they have been infected decreases the risk of them spreading it further("Current HIV Screening"). When AIDS first hit the news there was no hope for a AIDS free world. After many years and many tests there is some optimism. Kamarulzaman states that we have the science for an AIDS free world, but the road is long and hard.
