AIDS is one of the worst pandemics in modern history. What are your thoughts on this disease?

[racheli]

People are so ignorant and rude it’s sad. Just because it’s not happening to you or affects you doesn’t mean you have to lack any empathy for it. Get some facts.

[IHTCAU]

It's always because of some weird meat!

[justbreathe]

It makes me sad that my country Philippines has the highest growth rate of HIV in South east Asia. I hope people should be more aware with this pandemic.

[ryanjoseph.]

i hope that people would be more knowledgeable about what aids is and aware about the impact it can cause to humanity... sadly, speaking about this topic is a taboo in most conservative countries 😔

[carlosrocano]

I learn more here than my own health class which took whole year.

People should stop the stigma and be informed on how to stop and prevent the spreading of this disease.

''Living in countries with very few resources'' *Shows map of the US*. That says a lot about their healthcare system. Maybe you shouldn't spend trillions on military but focus more on healthcare and education.

Awareness is the key to prevent any type of decease.

I'm finally free from HIV after having a horrible outbreak, and feel the same way you describe in
your interview. Listening to you share your overcome experience gave me the glim hope I needed to hear. I am glad that there is people like you out there who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I need to hear today!!!

The BEST video that I Have seen that truly Broke it down. I just Started werking at a DR office that 95%of our patients have HIV, And im doing my Own Research to understand everything surrounding it.. thanks so much..

[ashisdey]

Make a video on recent research on treatment of AIDS

[Summer-xein]

Great simple informative video. HIV/AIDS is extremely prevalent in our species and I think making people aware of how HIV/AIDS is transmitted is one of the most important educational insights into this virus. #1 being sexually transmitted and through blood making those two dimensions the "easiest" ways of transmitting the virus. Thanks, Natgeo!
