The Hiv-Aids Crisis

At one point, there's no cure for HIV/AIDS. The virus has affected not just the African-American community, but the entire human race, as well. The whole world is affected by that disease, even in the United States of America. Everybody knows that HIV is passed on by having unprotected sex, using or sharing dirty needles/syringes, red blood, breast milk containing the HIV virus in it, and blood transfusion. HIV/AIDS has not only affected the adults, but the children and teenagers, as well. People who are living with HIV/AIDS are always dying from that disease and it's a heart-breaker. The virus is considered a life-or-death situation. I'm told that the doctors have been prescribing HIV meds for the ones who were tested positive for that life-threatening disease, but they're not sure whether all of the pills are to keep half of the human race alive. But there are fund-raisers that will help the researchers and the doctors find the cure for HIV and AIDS. But despite all o the hard work everybody has done to end HIV/AIDS, it's still there. And if the HIV virus keeps affecting the other human race in the future, there's no telling what bad thing might happen next. This HIV nightmare must end now. When will the HIV virus be eliminated permanently? When will this end?
