Causes of AIDS in America

Substance abuse, lack of education, and people being secretive are some of the main causes of AIDS in America. Many people wonder why these things cause AIDS. Many people don't know the facts of AIDS and what it can do to a person. No one tells them that it's a very serious thing so they just go around doing what ever they want with whoever they want. Doing this causes more people to contract AIDS. Another cause of AIDS is substance abuse. When people are doing drugs they don't know who used the needles they're using some of them are contaminated because people with AIDS or HIV have used them and now other people are using them and they are contracting AIDS. Also when people do the drugs they don't really know what they are doing so they're are more likely do something bad, most of them when they use drugs they don't care so they don't use protection and they could be with someone who has AIDS and not even know it because they're so out of it. Some people are to afraid to tell their love ones or other people that they have AIDS so they don't tell them they have it and they have sex with them and then the other person passes it on to other people because they didn't know they had it because no one told them. so AIDS just goes around till tons of more people get it just because of that one person being afraid to tell anyone because they're afraid what they would think of them. AIDS is a horrible thing that researchers need to find a cure for.

AIDS in America

Why is it that I'm writing about Aids in America and not family activities? Well the reason is I'm doing a research paper on Aids in America and Africa. Even though this article isn't really about a family activity, many families have people in their families that are affected by AIDS. More then 32.8 million people in the world have AIDS and an estimate of 468,578 people in America are living with AIDS according to United States Statistics Summary. People in the United States are trying to come up with a cure for AIDS and trying to educate people about AIDS. Many children have parents that have died from AIDS so now they are forced to live on there own to defend for themselves. If we think about it why is it that Children all over the world are watching their parents die because there's no cure for what they have. Since no one has come up with a cure it's going to keep happening more and more people will die. Obama is trying lift a ban so that people who have HIV and AIDS are able to come into the US. His plan is that if we can get some more people over here trying to find a cure then we can maybe have more success. Since we have this ban many people who have AIDS don't want to leave because they're afraid they wont be able to come back. It's said that families have to be broken up because of someone living with AIDS. We need to find away to get these families back together again.
