It was around 30 years ago, when the World for the first time faced the outbreak of the most terrible virus, absolutely unknown at that time, which developed AIDS in patients, and the disease was contagious and incurable, and it was spreading far and wide fast, therefore, they called it the plague of the XX century.

«Anyone who has the least ability to look into the future can already see the potential for this disease being much worse than anything mankind has seen before», – those were the words of Dr. Ward Cates from US Centers for Disease Control.

The word AIDS is the combination of the first letters of the words from the phrase «acquired immune deficiency syndrome». It is the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV – by the first letters of the words from this brief description, which causes the dangerous disease.

HIV extension became a major problem threatening the human civilization. Professionals in medicine believe that many developing countries now became the World leaders in the HIV-infection attack rate.

There is something that medical workers worldwide fear even more. More and more often, HIV is found in those people, who by no means might belong to so-called «risk groups». That is why one must keep in mind that HIV is no loner the problem of drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals, being frequently found among people with traditional values, too.

AIDS is the final stage of the performance, and it is often the result of long years of infection process, hidden somewhere deep inside, growing up gradually into a merciless monster finally killing everyone it can reach.

Dozens of millions of HIV-positive are already registered worldwide, and the number is increasing day in, day out.

Is there something we might learn to eliminate the risk to get this dangerous and virtually incurable disease?
