Well the battle against HIV/AIDS appears to be looking just a little bit better on our part. The newly designed AIDS vaccine seems to show some promise even if it is just a little bit. Trials of the AIDS vaccine were conducted in human patients in Thailand. The studies suggest that the vaccine helps protect against 30% of HIV/AIDS transmissions over a three year period.

Even though 30% doesn’t seem like an overly large percentage, image 30% of 15 million, 30 million, 6 billion. 30% is always better than 0%. Obviously this has been an amazing breakthrough in modern medicine. Maybe after these clinical trials, different methods of making this vaccine will help produce a better vaccine. Maybe in the next 10 year we will see a vaccine that will protect 50% of people that use it. Who knows maybe we’ll make a world changing discovery that leads to a vaccine that is 100% effective. A world free of HIV/AIDS.

The world has been waiting for this kind of a breakthrough. Many people have given generously to the cause, but many more will still be needed. Africa is worst hit by the HIV/AIDS virus. This is due to a lack of proper education and availability of effective birth control. These people need help, and we need to give it to them. They are human too. What if we were infected by a deadly, fatal disease. Without a cure, without proper treatment. Would we ask for help? You bet we would. Just because it doesn’t happen on this continent doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care.

How to Avoid Getting HIV/AIDS

AIDS is one of the most deadly diseases to ever exist on our planet. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and results in the destruction of a persons immune system. AIDS leaves people very susceptible to many illnesses, and even usually harmless illnesses become very dangerous due to the inability to properly fight against these illnesses.

HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.

AIDS is present in millions of people, kills millions of people, and is spread very easily. Therefore, AIDS is considered a pandemic. It is estimated that 2.1 million people, 330,000 children died from AIDS in 2007. Most of the cases of HIV/AIDS is in Africa, in many third-world countries, where proper protection or education is unavailable.

Ways to avoid HIV/AIDS

  • Avoid Sharing Bodily Fluids – Though kissing is described as safe, try to avoid any other exchange where foreign substances are absorbed by the body.
  • Use Clean Needles – If you are addicted to drugs or require injections of any sort make sure to use a clean needle. By using a dirty needle you are risking infection of HIV.
  • Practice Safe Sex – Use condoms every time. Condoms act as a physical barrier. Even if the woman is on birth control you can still be infected with HIV.
  • Get Tested, Get Your Partner Tested – Don’t assume someone is telling the truth, make sure to get a person tested before having any sexual contact with him/her. This is extremely important at the beginning of a relationship.
