AIDS:
Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
I am doing a report on AIDS, I don't know
much about AIDS but I will tell you what I know. I
know that it is transmitted by sexual
contact,blood,needles,children during/before birth.
I also know it affects the immune system directly, It
is caused by the virus HIV which they have no
cure for either AIDS or HIV at the current
moment, but they are doing serious research on
them.
I call it the 'Generation X Disease' because it
mostly affects my sex-oriented generation. It is
currently one of the leading causes of death in the
USA and the death rate is increasing drastically! It
it the perfect virus of the ninties because of how it is
transmitted is like what the ninties is about... sex
and drugs(what a great generation huh).
Everyone's doing drugs and having pre-marital sex
at a young irresponsable age, it's getting so bad I
am beginning to believe that I am the only normal
person left.

HIV Testing AD2You used to only be able to get an HIV test at
your doctor, but now they have home tests that are
confidential. You go to the store pick one up prick
your finger then mail in the blood sample, in about
two or three weeks you call in and enter your
special pin number and they give you your results. I
think this is cool but there has to be some
drawbacks like them getting samples messed up
and it getting mixed up in the mail or other stupid
things like that, like if you really don't have the
disease but you get someone elses reading who does
have HIV.
Thats about all I know about this horrible
disease,so ill move on to what I found when I
reaserched this topic.
