For as long as humanity can recall, disease has taken the lives of millions. Often, it strikes unexpectedly. Among the worst of a group of silent killers is HIV/AIDS. This virus renders the human body's immune system nearly useless, causing many millions to become incurably ill and perish. Progress has been made by the efforts of many HIV/AIDS organizations around the world. Unfortunately, their efforts still haven't been nearly enough to stop this epidemic. We, as people whom this virus can directly or indirectly affect, must continue to fund treatment research and educate all areas about the severity of this disease.
AIDS has already killed millions of people, millions more continue to become infected with HIV, and there’s no cure for AIDS – so AIDS and HIV will be around for a while yet ("AVERT Website- What is AIDS?").
