This disease leads to lowering of person 's immunity to other diseases (Chambers ,D .E Wedel , K .R (2005 . With the lowered immunity the body becomes vulnerable to attacks by opportunistic infections . HIV /AIDS has been termed by many as a monster of the present day because the devastating effects it has had on the population . It has caused the

deaths of many reliable young men and women who were the back bone of the economy . It has rendered many people orphans widows and widowers leaving them with no one to provide for their daily bread . It is for this reason there fore hat urgent measure s should be put in place to curb the spread of the disease

This project is intended to bring down the prevalence rates by introducing key measures . These are creation of community awareness supply of free ARVs , supply of free protective devices such as condoms Another way is reduction of stigma through voluntary counseling and testing

Thesis statement

The spread of HIV aids which has remained a problem for a long time can be curbed

This can be achieved only if approaches proposed in this project proposal are followed and implemented to the letter

Analysis

The causes and consequences of HIV /AIDS have been widely discussed and as such much attention should be directed towards reduction of the spread

There are many ideologies that have been advanced to support the source or cause of HIV / AIDS . Some people have argued that aids is caused by witch craft while others argue that it is not real and yet others say it is a punishment to man kind for sinning against God . How ever , of these ideologies should be taken seriously because AIDS is real and it is actually a viral disease (www .medterms .com /script /main /art .asp ?articlekey 3769 - 4 By actual analysis it has been established that the project on reduction of the spread of HIV /AIDS is likely to benefit the entire population This is through increased economic growth as result of a reduction of deaths among the working population . Also through reduction of spread of aids there will be reduction on human suffering in general

It is also argued that reduction in spread of this disease its likely to impact negatively on manufacturers of ARVS and other drugs that treat the disease . Not with standing this is can concluded that there no absolute gainers and losers in the fight against the spread of this disease
