What must be done to educate the Masses

HIV and AIDS is still a widespread disease in America and the world . In 2005 , there was an estimated 40 million people globally that was infected by HIV /AIDS . ADDIN EN .CITE CouncilGlobal Health CouncilHIV /AIDS 2007August 2 2007http /globalhea lth .org /view_top .php3 ?id 227 (Council , 2007 ) In the United States , a massive effort to prevent and cure this disease has been undertaking for the longest time But , despite these efforts , it remains a major health risk in America There
