HIV/AIDS Epidemic
WOW I don't even know where to start here. As for people who are living every day of their lives infected is outrages. I personally know quite a few people who have HIV/AIDS, and I have never batted an eye on turning my back towards them. I have dated a few different people who are infected, and never really thought anything about it. I have on the other hand protected myself and regularly get tested. But after doing some research on this matter, it amazes me on how many people in the US alone who are infected.
Women represent large number or new infections, and blacks are majority. As whites are third, and so on. If we can all get together and start the spread of this and take everything by the reins we can eventally stop it.
In the 2009 budget request for HIV and AIDS domestic spending is estimated at just over $18 billion. Of this, roughly 68 percent is for care, 15 percent for research, 10 percent for cash and housing assistance, and 4 percent for prevention.
