AIDS

Being one of the most fatal viruses in the world, AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is now a serious public health concern in most major Canadian and American cities and in countries worldwide. Since 1986 there have been impressive advances in understanding of the AIDS virus. Even though researchers have put in countless hours, and millions of dollars it has not led to a drug that can cure infection with the virus or to a vaccine that …

…intercourse. At this point in time there is no cure, or is there a vaccination. However, there are ways to prevent HIV, some of those ways are abstinence, condoms, not sharing needles used for drugs. Public concern is higher then it was 15 years ago, but that's because people are starting to realize that not everyone is immune to it, as of right now the only ones immune to the HIV virus are baboons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
