Aids or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome a sexually transmitted disease that lethal. People with Aids acquire it through contact with the body fluids of an infected person. This may occur in several different ways, through sexual intercourse, blood transfusions and the sharing of syringes, as the practice among drug addicts. Some people merely carriers and not suffer from any of the symptoms associated with Aids. In others, the Aids virus lies dormant in their bodies for several months before any outward signs of its presence. In both cases, the disease capable of spreading rapidly due to non-awareness.

Aids particularly lethal because the virus breaks down the natural immune defences that the body against other diseases, which may be common or otherwise. A person living with Aids with a case of the common flu may it develop into something more severe and life-threatening due to the absence of these defences or anti-bodies. Such a person must be extra vigilant against any form of bacterial or viral infection. Our environment saturated with these microscopic organisms, and it would be practically impossible to avoid contact with them.

Perhaps what more painful to these people the way they treated by ill-informed members of the public, even their family and friends. Contrary to popular belief, the disease not spread by casual physical contact as the Aids virus cannot survive for long outside of a human host. However, the fear of contracting or even close to the infected person causes people to shun these unfortunate sufferers generally.

The government, aware of the very real threat the disease poses, especially among young people, embarked on various programs to educate the people. The best cure prevention. Casual sex with unfamiliar partners to be discouraged. Regular tests to be taken for sexually active people to detect the disease at an early stage. To this end, all government clinics equipped with this facility. People to cooperate if we to eradicate the scourge of this incurable disease.
