Bushi and I wish you a very happy "World AIDS Day!"
Do you know what is AIDS? If you don't, then you must read this! -
AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a deadly disease which is the last stage of the HIV infection.
HIV causes AIDS.
WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that more than 25 million people (worldwide) died due to this disease, since this disease was discovered.
Treatment-
There is NO cure for AIDS. Prevention is only the way. However, there are medicines which can prolong the life of the person who is effected with AIDS.
Antiretroviral (An agent or process effective against a retrovirus) therapy reduces the replication of HIV virus in our body. A combination of many antiretroviral drugs (medicines) which is called - Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), has been very effective in reducing the number of HIV particles in the bloodstream.
But remember, even HAART has side effects like-
*When this medicine is used for a long time, it can even cause Heart Attack.
Prevention of AIDS-
There is much more to say on AIDS. If you get it once, it's a great suffering. PREVENT it. Help others to prevent it on World AIDS day!!
Happy Preventing!
Proverb-
Confidence is half of victory.

Prevention of AIDS-
- Use a clean needle. Make sure that the needle which you are going to use is sterile and don't share it.
- Stop AIDS to reach the baby from mother. HIV infected mothers can pass the infection to her baby when she is pregnant. Stop this two-thirds by receiving treatments.
