There are many diseases in our world with the oldest ones in the book, such as Chicken Pox, to newer ones that we are just discovering. One of the more recent discoveries was the discovery of the AIDs and HIV viruses. HIV is a virus that later leads into the deathly disease AIDs. I personally do not know any person, whether friend or family or a random person I met for two seconds, who has had HIV or AIDs, but I am aware what it can do to a not just one person’s life, but to their family and friends as well. Whenever I think of AIDs, I always remember this TV show I used to watch with my grandmother about a young boy with AIDs who went to an AIDs camp. I remember the things he would say and how strong he was about the subject, and after every episode I would wonder what life would be like with such a deadly disease and knowing you wont be able to live a full life without getting sick ro going to the hospital. This made me terrified while this young kid was so strong and so couragous and I will always remember how strong that kid was. Now that there is a vaccine (not a cure, but a step forward) to AIDs and HIV, it shows our perseverence to fight this disease that has plagued so many people and families in our world. This is an invention that should not be overlooked, but it will be because it is “merely” a vaccine, but I see it as a huge step forward, especially so that people do not have to go through what that young boy went through all of his life.
