I came across this article and reading it has disturbed me greatly:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21571977/
The article talks about using the funds allocated to AIDS relief in preventative methods rather than on research to find a cure. While I agree that prevention of HIV virus is very important, we should not forget all those who suffer from it or the very fact that no prevention is 100% guaranteed.
I just cannot get myself to believe that people are seriously considering giving up on this. Granted we have not found a cure yet but that doesn't mean that there is no cure. Science and scientists give humanity a hope at a chance to overcome diseases and other natural catastrophes. How can we give up hope? After all, what is humanity without hope???
