Is there any one who can for sure tell me that whether AIDS as a disease is more devastating than Malaria, Diarrhea and TB? I mean the disease that can take life in a large scale and in shortest possible time. If the answer is no then why the great nations and the world bodies are spending millions of dollars for a few and ignoring the greater risk to greater number of people specially the poorer countries where malnutrition is the major problem and to fight with Malaria, Diarrhea and TB is the order of the day. Should we not re-thinks about the allocation of fund?

What I can tell you for definite is that by the year 2000 AIDS had wiped out half of the U.S. population. Call an AIDS information center. They have information and documentation available to you if you request it. Africa is hit with this epidemic as well along with the rest of the world. Out of all diseases I have witnessed AIDS by far was worse than any other. Not that any disease is pleasant. All are horrible. Before AZT and countless other drugs were produced I witnessed all age groups suffer with this disease. I have seen it take an 18 year old healthy adult less than a period of 2 weeks. He looked like a man of 100 years and died a painful horrible death. I have seen many other cases before the drugs and each one is haunting. As does each person with AIDS. At least now there is treatment available to help. Any treatment is better than none. I hope that adequate funding would be given for all. I know is not true. We live in a privileged country. And the saying is so true. Out of sight out of mind. Is sad for all of us. Great question. And one that should be foremost in every ones mind.

Over 80% of Haiti people have been exposed to the AIDS virus, how many of them have malaria? Do the math...

All are bad but the largest killer around the world to date is malaria.

World economy is just being run by few nations and perhaps its their concerns which take forefront. Its all politics. No one cares for anyone.

I most definitely think AIDS is more devastating, but maybe someday it won't be
