AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is the result of HIV, or the human
immunodeficiency virus. HIV can be transferred by contact with an infected
person’s bodily fluids, like blood. The future of AIDS and HIV is a scary one,
as it has already reached pandemic status and is likely to continue spreading.
There is almost no way to prevent a person from HIV infection if exposed to the virus.
However, methods are being developed and there is hope for a cure for HIV in the
future. For now, though, there are only treatments.
As things are now right
now, HIV is something that our generation needs to be well aware of all around
the world. If we neglect to protect ourselves from this virus, the virus will
spread. The future could be a very hard time if HIV and AIDS are running rampant
through all nations, which is what will likely happen if a cure is never found
and we ignore the prominence of this virus. If we find a cure for AIDS and HIV,
the pandemic is likely to go away for the near future. Otherwise, we will have
to work hard and take care of ourselves to prevent the spread of AIDS.
