I read Roy's post on World AIDS day and I must agree with him. AIDS is an important issue for a number of reasons. One very important issue is who it effects. AIDS and HIV are in the process of wiping out entire cultures abroad and severely infecting based on socio-economical levels. Meaning that in America those most likely to become HIV positive are Black females. The poorer you are the higher your risk as well. In places such as Africa this disease has the potential of wiping out entire populations and villages. It is devastating to have such a disease destroying culture.
I must agree with Roy, I believe that the cost of these drugs should be lowered in order to help prevent the spread of AIDS. Also local initiatives like Broadway Cares can help the families as well as those with AIDS cope with this.
