Shae's view on "The effects H.I.V / A.I.D.S have on society"

H.I.V is becoming an epidemic, but the question is why? We cant blame a lack of education
for being the reason of the rapid spread of this disease. There are so many seminars, tv shows, and books out here to help educate us on how to protect ourselves against this disease. Unprotected sex is the easiest way to spread this disease. In todays society they have condoms in bathrooms not to promote teenage sex but to educate on the seriousness of protection against STD's. There are clinics out there that will give free condoms out to people in need. Sharing dirty needles are another way to spread this disease.
The first cases of the virus now known as AIDS were identified in the U.S. in 1981. When this disease originated it was considered to target homosexuals, but thats not the case anymore. A similar phenomenon is occurring globally, in which the most poverty-stricken, powerless countries are those hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic. They are threatened with devastating results that are just beginning to be recognized. HIV is also problematic for people of color living in the U.S., with different rates of infection occurring most notably among African-American males.
If we dont take this disease seriously and realize that this can happen to us and we are not exempt from catching this disease, we are gonna be a population of infected people with a fast trip to the grave. This disease dont have a name on it. It kills, probablly not rapidly but eventually.
