How can we overcome the AIDS Epidemic?

Question

25 Million dead, 5.6 million of those children since the beginning of the epidemic. Millions more orphaned when their parents die. 10,000 a day die from this treatable, preventable disease. But it preys in poverty, neglect, drug abuse, hopelessness, and ignorance.

What can we do, what will YOU do to help overcome this epidemic that has become a plague like no other that is ravaging Africa, South America, India, China, Russia and yes, the United States.

We've overcome major diseases in the past, this disease is worse then all the rest, almost killed more then all the wars of the 20th century..... And yet? Every life matters! Just as if it was your own friend, mother, child that was suffering and dying.

Please consider the impact of this disease and what we can do to overcome it. Please post your solutions to this issue, learn what you can do to help and take action! Please do not wait for your government to do something, what can we do?

Thank you,

Answer 1

I guess we should wake up ! and decide: AIDS is not a fatality. yes it kills, yes we don't know how to cure it. but we know how to prevent it. so decide to:
be careful,
INVEST in education and research!
INVEST in Africa and Asia. In Africa alone, AIDS has killed (and it continues to kill) an entire generation; the work force is being wiped out. consequence: economy goes downhill faster! consequence 2: older generation has no mean of subsidence. consequence 3: the younger generation is growing up in poor eco environment + no role model.
now if this is not a recipe for desaster: what is!

WAKE UP AND DECIDE!!!!!!
