On World AIDS Day: Progress, But There's "So Much of it Out There"
More advanced treatments for AIDS and prevention of the spreading of HIV/AIDS have become available to us. Because of this, the rate of deaths due to HIV/AIDS has gone down by 20% since 2004. However, "for every person who's put on treatment, two more people are getting infected". While we are getting more and more advanced treatments, it's hard to totally stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Doctors and researchers are working very hard to stop HIV/AIDS all together.
I think that this disease is very terrible and scary. It's good that we have made 20% progress since 2004, but we should do more things to stop the spreading. If we stopped the spreading of HIV/AIDS, we could keep it somewhat under control. We could have businesses test all of their employees for AIDS and tell them to take preventative measures. I also think we need more awareness for HIV/AIDS.
