AIDSAcquired Immune

Deficiency Syndrome

AIDS results from damage to the human immune system.

It is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

AIDS originated in sub-Saharan Africa in the 20th century.

AIDS infects vital organs of the human immune system,...

...destroys vital cells required for the functioning of the immune system,...

...and results in fevers, sweats, swollen glands, chills, weakness, and weight loss.

Ultimately, AIDS kills.

Over 38.6 million worldwide have AIDS.

25 million have already fallen prey to AIDS.

There is no known cure.

The AIDS virus spreads through contact of blood,...

...and prevention of blood contact is the only respite.

AIDS is a huge emotional issue,...

...AIDS infected people need to be treated with love and care.

AIDS does not spread with normal human contact

Meanwhile, the worldwide battle to find a cure for AIDs...

...continues.
