AIDS

AIDS AIDS has taken many lives in the short time it has been around. It spread rapidly before doctors knew what it was and how it spread. But, with awareness it has slowed down. The bubonic plague took one-third of the European population, violently attacking peoples’ lives. It was the last time a disease took down the world population. It spread fast because no one was sure how it spread or what it was, so they had no way of stopping it at the time. One of the only diseases comparable to the bubonic plague is AIDS. AIDS has taken many lives because at first no one knew what it was or how to control it; even now no one has found a cure. One of the reasons the HIV virus spread so quickly was because of drug use. It is known that people who use drugs and share their needles can spread HIV quickly and drug users are more likely to have unprotected sex. Alcohol can also be considered a drug. After consuming alcohol, people let their guard down and are more likely to have unprotected sex (AIDS.org) Peoples’ fear of both diseases, AIDS and bubonic plague, are similar.
