HIV/AIDS lecture

HIV/AIDS is an alarming disease sweeping our nation, and on October 30, I attended the discussion about it in the Blackburn ballroom. The rate at which this disease claims lives in our community is startling, and the fact that such a common STD has no cure is unbelievable in this day and age. Since we have not found modern medicine to take this unfortunate disease away, we have to use preventive medicine- knowledge. That was the message the National Medical Association was trying to give us. Not enough people know about the risks and consequences of HIV/AIDS but by spreading useful information, we can hopefully spread less of the disease and create more awareness about the issue.
