Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
a very serious STD caused by the
retrovirus HIV. it can be transmitted by semen, breastmilk, blood and vaginal fluid. u cannot get it from
huggin or kissin or shakin hands. AIDS eventually kills of ur
white blood cells and when they go, ur immune system goes. technically, AIDS doesnt kill u. its the sickness u get when ur immune system is destroyed (like the cold or the flu. in the 80s and early 90s when the disease was first discovered (i think), ppl thought is was only transmitted through homosexuals and that it was a curse on them. its not though. it can be transmitted to homos, straight ppl and even lil babies...
although new medicine and technology help expand the life span for AIDS patients, there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS.
Example:
i still have hope that man will find
the cure for AIDS and all of these diseases. in the
meantime, u shouldnt discriminate against ppl who have it. its hard enough for them as it is so
lay off!
