The reason for the spread of HIV, where ever a person might live, is pretty much the people's own actions.  With the info we have now, barring blood transfusions (and even then rare since blood is tested) and freaky things like a maniac poking someone with an infected needle, the disease is almost 100% preventable. It is quite simple.  Don't hop into bed with everyone you see.  Don't do intravenous drugs.  How hard is that?

first off i would like to say b4 u get AIDS u get HIV. u can have HIV for YEARS (ova a decade for some ppl) and the scary thing is HIV has NO SYMPTOMS. understand that clearly, the person will look and feel healthy but they are infectious, ie. during this asymtomatic phase they can pass on the virus. the HIV will develop into AIDS which can manifest in many ways.. loss of weight, repetitive infections (most common being THRUSH [vaginal and oral types]).\nthe reason is that when sumone has full blown AIDS they have a very weakened immune system and therefore are sitting ducks for infections. diseases u would ordinarily fight off with ease become life threatning. so as for symtoms, u will display the symptoms of the disease u have got at that moment. AIDS kills u because it renders u too weak to fight other diseases so AIDS patients will die because of TB, pneumonia and other opportunistic infections.\n\nHIV/AIDS IS A KILLER. for real. IT HAS NO CURE. the message of safe sex, EVERYTIME, is not there to bother its to protect. all it takes is one time without a rubber. remember u CANNOT TELL BY LOOKING if someone has HIV. and dont rely on jus asking and expecting an honest answer... ppl lie or they themselves may not know they have it... talk is cheap. i have personally seen AIDS patients, they die slowly. they end up being walking skeletons, its not pretty.\n\nfor anyone with misconceptions about HIV/AIDS, 1.get informed FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE for the cold facts\n2.condomise ALWAYS... be smart, stay safe...

(m)\n\nImmediate causes\nThe immediate causes of the epidemic are linked to HIV´s modes of transmission. These include unprotected penetrative se; transmission from mother to child before, during or after birth; and transmission through transfusions and the sharing of blood or blood products.\n\nUnderlying causes include societal denial and weak political commitment; poverty and social inequality; gender divisions; population movement as a result of famine, war and other causes; human rights abuse; and lack of dialogue about sex and sexuality. All of these make it likely that infection continues to spread.\n\nYoung people may be especially vulnerable to infection. They may not receive appropriate kinds of sex and personal relationship education. They may lack access to relevant social support including youth friendly counselling and sexual health services. Young women (and some young men) may be at particular risk through involvement in sex work and prostitution. The tendency for older and more sexually experienced men to prefer younger sexual partners also enhances their vulnerability.\n\nImmediate effects\nHIV and AIDS have serious and immediate effects within the family and household. As parents and young people are affected, household income may fall. Additional costs of healthcare, funerals and transport to clinics and hospital may have to be met. While many households develop new ways of coping, other are severely stressed. The changing balance of labour within the home may encourage less labour intensive and less nutritious crops to be grown. Widows and elderly people may lack financial and moral support when, as the sole adult within the family, they have to take on added responsibilities for the care of children and young people.\n\nIn order to help families cope, children, and especially girls, may be kept away from school. Yong people who are orphaned as a result of AIDS may face new risks. They may lack access to a stable and secure social network of adults and may be vulnerable to child labour, exploitation, prostitution and sexual abuse.\n\nThe effects of HIV and AIDS on the health sector can be dramatic. As the demand for health services rises, the capacity of the health care system to respond may diminish. Loss of staff through HIV-related illness and death may compound the difficulties facing already over-crowded hospitals and clinics. While new and potentially more effective drugs have been found, these remain out of reach of all but the richest people in the majority of developing countries.\n\nLonger-term effects\nIn the longer-term, HIV and AIDS will have a profound demographic impact. In the most seriously affected countries, life expectancy has already been reduced and past gains in infant mortality are being eroded and even reversed.\n\nAt the macro-economic level, HIV and AIDS can cause a decline in aggregate savings and investment, reduce profits and incentives for business to invest, and lead to a long-term decline in productivity and consumption.\n\nIn time, the epidemic will have a serious impact on all sectors of society. Agriculture is likely to be affected by a shift from long-term planning to short-term survival. Al employment sectors will suffer, especially those with a highly mobile workforce such as the transport industry, the armed forces, seasonal farm labour and construction work. The most vulnerable sectors of the economy are those heavily dependent on highly educated and experienced staff in short supply. These include banking and commerce, universities and schools, government and public services.\n\nAny weakening of the education system will make it more difficult for young people to receive information about AIDS before they become sexually active. A decline in the quantity and quality of education is likely to take place as teachers become ill and die. This has serious consequences for future economic development and growth.\n\nThe inter-generational consequences of HIV and AIDS are

My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

Usually an HIV+ person is considered to have Aids when her CD-4 count is 200 or below. That's when most doctors start prescribing an Antiretroviral Treatment to boost the immune system and control the Viral Load. Many HIV+ people have been on treatment now for 18-20 years.\n \nWhat is important for your sister is to find a good treating doctor and to pay a special preventive attention to her immune system by mean of a healthy lifestyle, so that she can delay as much as possible the start of an Antiretroviral Treatment. Regular Western Blott test should be taken every 3 months.\n\nHIV/AIDS is not a death sentence these days! But it has to be well managed to insure longevity and quality of life.

the population is around 3.6 million. There are 18 religious sects. In general, the lebanese christians are around 40% and the muslims are 60%. however, there are many lebanese christians who do not live in Lebanon which makes the christian population living in Lebanon around 30%. The politics is based on the sectarian differences in the country. muslims and christians have equal number of parlimentary seats. The president is maronite christian, the prime minister a sunni muslim and the head of parliment a shiaa muslim.

In 2004 about 380 thousand African-Americans had AIDS. HIV is not reportable in all jurisdictions, so there aren't current national HIV stats. That should change soon as more jurisdictions are making HIV reportable, and there will be significant changes to HIV epidemiology methodology. Nonetheless, a large portion of HIV+ people are unaware of their infection, so it's hard to get accurate numbers.

"Human immunodeficiency virus (commonly known as HIV, and formerly known as HTLV-III and lymphadenopathy-associated virus) is a retrovirus that primarily infects vital components of the human immune system such as CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. It also directly and indirectly destroys CD4+ T cells. As CD4+ T cells are required for the proper functioning of the immune system, when enough CD4+ T cells have been destroyed by HIV, the immune system functions poorly, leading to the syndrome known as AIDS. HIV also directly attacks organs, such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy. Many of the problems faced by people infected with HIV result from failure of the immune system to protect from opportunistic infections and cancers.\n\nHIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.\n\nHIV is hypothesized to have originated in southern Cameroon after jumping from wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) to humans during the twentieth century[1][2]. Infection in humans is now pandemic. As of January 2006, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized on December 1, 1981, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in recorded history. In 2005 alone, AIDS claimed an estimated 2.4 - 3.3 million lives, of which more than 570,000 were children.[3] A third of these deaths are occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth by destroying human capital. Current estimates say that about 28 million people have died and that HIV is set to infect 90 million people in Africa, resulting in a minimum estimate of 18 million orphans in Africa.[4] Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries.[5] HIV/AIDS stigma is more severe than that associated with other life-threatening conditions and extends beyond the disease itself to providers and even volunteers involved with the care of people living with HIV."

No! No one is immune to HIV or Aids...\n\nWhy? Because the viruses change often (there is a high level of mutation). It's the same reason why they can't find a cure...It doesn't stay the same long enough for them to specifically target it....

Aids is a disease that is spread through intercourse with different partners during sexual acts, or sharing dirty infected needles for drug useage, or even from bodily fluids being exchanged...
