The Next Minute, It’s Here The world has finally come into unison. All countries agree that this problem must be stopped. The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, also known as AIDS, has struck but this time it will not be ignored like the first time. As humans, the fact that AIDS has been prolonged only brought more issues than what it first started out to be. Now the world deals with a fight for life and survival, only now, our enemy is a virus. For those who have the ability and have the knowledge of AIDS know the causes, effects, and prevention.

Religious groups should step forward and speak openly about AIDS. Most of all, everyone should be open minded to a situation like this because this again is a world wide issue and could be theirs..
