AIDS is a deadly incurable disease. People suffering from AIDS are looked down upon by the people. In India, a person suffering from AIDS is ranked as sinner by others. In some parts of India, people under grip of this virus are treated like untouchables.

AIDS patient is sometimes devoid of basic human rights. Despite of various campaigns started by government to correct the misconceptions linked with this disease, AIDS patient is still treated with contempt. People suffering from AIDS can’t live a normal life due to various social stigmas attached to AIDS.
 

The researchers of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed a new report on AIDS and its prevention. The report has some shocking results. The people with HIV infection are increased by 40 percent as compared to previous years. 

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention spends about $750 million a year on AIDS prevention. The disease is taking life of 15000 to 18,000 Americans, according to the head of CDC's AIDS branch, Dr. Kevin Fenton. He further said that he was not satisfied with the AIDS prevention program of CDC as it has failed to achieve its target.

The United Nations on Tuesday reported that in the year 2007, the number of AIDS deaths and new infections in children worldwide decreased by 10 percent. The major reason for this was the access to treatment.

The report given out of the UN also included that in many countries, the condom use and prevention methods have increased. Other than this, sex on adolescents also reduced in some of the most heavily affected regions.
