AIDS

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a recent extremely dangerous terminal disease. People ill with AIDS lose their psychical immunity, which in most cases leads to death. A catastrophic epidemic of AIDS is sweeping around the globe killing hundreds of thousands of men, women and children every year. With no effective treatment available anywhere in the world, and no prospect of a vaccine, people are simply powerless to stop the spread of this disease.

The situation of people ill with AIDS is really tragic. They are not only the victims of the HIV virus, but also the victims of a society which is very often not tolerant enough to accept them. They are usually isolated from the society and friends who try to avoid them or even break off their relationships with them. As far as I can see victims of AIDS in Poland aren't accept and their life in our country is very hard. What's more begging for money is the only one way to survive.

As far as I am conceded I don't afraid of AIDS victims, and people who beg in front of the shops, churches don't disturb me. Many older people are afraid of victims because they believe that they may be easily infected. However it's not true. The HIV virus perishes outside the human's system and that's why it's not possible to get infected by touch. We shouldn't afraid of AIDS victims
