The HIV Virus invades a white blood cell...

There is no cure for this deadly illness yet, so it'd be a real pity for people who caught it. It's is a fatal disease. Once the virus causing AIDS, i.e, HIV enters the body, nothing can be done to get rid of it.

We cannot get AIDS by kissing. In fact, AIDS is hard to catch, but yet there are millions of people diagnosed with this disease worldwide and millions die from it every year.

In order to pick up the virus from someone, you have to have their BLOOD, SEMEN or VAGINAL FLUID come in contact with your blood. AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). We can get AIDS through unprotected sexual intercourse. We can also get AIDS through cuts and bites, contaminated injection needles (ear-piercing equipment too), or by transfusion of blood contaminated with the virus. Pregnant women and nursing mothers with AIDS may pass it along to their babies.

Just like Gao Yao Jie, I feel that we should not despise these victims as nobody in the world would want to catch this illness, who would? I mean, there are no symptoms for AIDS and we cannot tell who is carrying the virus and who is not. Despise those who have been fooling around, maybe, but how about those who caught it by accident like through cuts and bites, while piercing their ears or through donation of blood?
