Yuki, Japan
I think Japanese people is rather optimistic about this fatal disease, just because the number ofAIDS carreer in Japan is quite low. Besides, young generation are very ignorant about any SIDs. They seem to be very confident not to become the "one" who will suffer any sexual disease, regardless of their promiscuous acts.

Dawn China
The education of anti-AIDS is attached much importance in our country now and we have already carried out the free medical treatment for HIV-positive people. It is a good sign to let more people know about AIDS and establish the right recognition for the infected people. I am expecting to hear good news about the medical treatment for AIDS.

An Nguyen, Vietnam
Although new drugs anti-HIV are available, people have to prevent it with regular methods such as using condom. Preventing is better than treating; so people should do everything to prevent AIDS rather than treat it. Schools should teach their students or pupils how to prevent HIV, that is the best method to prohibit HIV epidemic. Men should have more responsibility to the spread of HIV. AIDS is not only an ordinary disease, but also is a social disease.

claire england
it is terrible we should be able to do something.

Zhang Ying, China
Sex,one night stand, relationships such Western-style regular phrases are not as much popular as in UK, Chinese people still conservative and self-disciplined against sexual life though some entertaining markets are obsessed with heaps of Sexual informations, so far there is no any official adults program being operated along with some forbidding websites, sounds incredible,doesn't? anyway, all they just try to do is to prevent all childrens or youngsters from getting addicted, neither does any formal anti-HIV/AIDS textbook prevailing in Education Sector, I wish they would cknowledge about the jeopardy of HIV either in rural areas or city centers, that really has been threatening to everybody's life even destroys their prospects, More frequency of one- night stand more chance to get effected during the intercourse,eventually lead to a disastrous ending.

chol padiet, South Sudan
commenting on the issue to HIV.There's still much to be done about this dreadful pandemic of the disease,all people of the world should be careful about reckless sexual aproach and learn proper use of propylactic methods or preferably avoid total sex any.

Muhammad Maiwada, Nigeria
I can say in Nigerian context, people living with HIV/AIDS are in the increase day by day. Despite the campaign by the Nigerian Government and the NGOs. To me the continue increase in the HIV pandemic is that all the campaigners against HIV/AIDS are not doing the right thing. That is to say that they always emphasise on the use of condoms and left to me, by this they are more-or-less promoting sex and on the other hand advertising and promoting the use of condoms. I think the only solution to HIV/AIDS is complete abstenance from sex outside marriege. Let us stop decieving ourselves, let's be realistic and have good sincererity of purpose.

Gabriel Deng South,Sudan
The war against Hiv is a great war to be fought in confidence by all human sexes and it's hoped shall be won by commmitment.

chol padiet South Sudan
To prevent HIV, sex should be avoided untill Hiv inffected are screened out as the priority.

Chol Padiet
Hiv/Aids is becoming fruitful inspite of scientifical development and research for cure.I reckon, unless a new culture which says no to total sex is adopted Hiv will eliminate the world generation by generation,let's forget about sex and condoms.

Jessie China
The people that have infected the AIDS is so pitty. I think we should do our best to make their happy. I hope no discrimination to them. They should have the same rights as the health people.

Siva Srilanka
It's very hard to get rid of it unless full suports given by all human . It's mainly the main concer about the teen's who having a sex without any protection. There are put them slef in a great dangers and also sperat the virus to other as well.

Tom China
As a matter of fact, thanks to the goverment's policy there is ongoing general education among Chinese universities since I am a college student which I could hardly know about before.Not all the people at least me know that should show sympathy on those infected guys. This time we can only rely ourselves on scientific research and the poor people could get help and are brave in fighting.

Stephane France
We need ever be reminded aids is near us. That's why the role of the media is a paramount importance.

Vivian Liung China
It is hard to get rid of the AIDS,even if we have invested a lot of material resources and manpower to propagandize it,but anyway,we have still trying our best to perish it!

Dan chia
About AIDS, we think it is far away from ourselves, but now, it's not like before. I think there are three wys to be infected : drugs, polluted blood and sex. and more suffered bydrugs and polluted blood .

Ruth , Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe the laders are greedy and selfish and not much is done about the AIDS PROBLEM. Thousands of people are dying of this deadly disease and so many people are infected with mainly due to social, political and economical set up in the country. Healthy is not prioritised and instead of saying much about prevention of AIDS people are in political conflict.

Rodrigo Moreiro, Spain
The most important things to do in order to prevent aids are three: Edication, education and education. If you add a touch of common sense to the information you receive you´ll save yourself a lot of trouble. Know all you can about the disease, know your partner, know the use of contraceptives and USE them.Don´t you think so Angela?

Qiu,China
To successfully prevent aids'spread depens on not only the development of medication,but also the positive action of all of us.

Gbenga ,Nigeria
I am hopeful soonest HIV/Aid vaccine would be discovered and that would drastically prevent the spread of the disease.But the non-infected people must take extra care before then.

Coineach, Australia
Our moral standards need to change Are there many people who believe in making LOVE, that is something special which can and should last a life time.

FOUAD -LIBYA
we have to think for more soultions about HIV prolplem , Because life is short and we could get the soultions to late ,everboday must think for more fastest ways to protact ourselves from this devastation of mankind we have to protact ourselves from dying it's a serious matter

aden, france
I'm not sure that I understand what you want me to do... just an advice about AID? I prefer to give "an opinion" between so much ideas and positions. I always ask me why the information at the beginning of the epidemia was so confidential (because governments don't want to frighten people)and we don't hear anymore about the health minister of this period...and if at the begin of this disease we were so badly informed, how can we be sure of actual information? there is always the gap between poor and rich countries, but there is also a question of how we organize our health system? in France the result of the canicul (warm) is for me just a beginning of the learning of how our services are unable to face with exeptionnal things, and how we consider the weakest...it's also a question of everyone attitude and how we consider life and respect of human being. The problem is not only to fight to have good medicines, and to bring them to the poorest but also how we consider human relationships and the respect of the weakest. If we don't pay attention to respect neighbourhood and life, medicines won't be sufficient.

Neilson,China
Well,As a gay i am worrying about AIDS and HIV+ all the time...But in my heart there is always have a dream that is Chinese governement can allow gays get married each other...I believe in that it is one way to stop AIDS...Because one tight relationship can stop AIDS passing by the sex in some way...About the drug I think we need to educate the person be far away from drugs...And the government should do more on research the anti-Aids drugs...

Tom China
The problem of Aids is very seriously now,more than one million people had got it,some experts warned.But this issue has earned increasingly concern from all the country.As a stutent of medicine,I can say we will win.Please beleve us,beleve China!

wang qiang China
First of all,I think we must repect them.Then,we can concentrate our energe on helping them.

Michel, Belgium
Worldwide AIDS battle needs lot of money, especially for the more affected developping countries (medical treatments, adapted information campaigns, long term educative actions...): rich countries should help more poor countries, instead of trying to protect above all interest of their big drugs companies...People condemned to death by the desease probably won't be there anymore to see the concrete effects of financial aid promises from rich countries... And in our developped countries, even if the disease is less widespread, we don't do enough efforts to protect each other during sexual relationships : the number of HIV infected persons is now rising again in Western Europe ! SO DEAR FRIENDS, MAKE LOVE THE WAY YOU PREFER BUT STAY COVERED !

yuan,china
in our country,a great deal of people don't understant AIDS rightly,some people think that means sex and drug,but in fact mostly people infected by sale-blood,they are so poverty and pity.

Sam china
The battle against aids is hard but we are confidentto get rid of it

Adnan Asanoy
Yemen as you know located in southwester Arabian peninsular near the Africa corn allot refugees in Yemen from Somali and Ethiopia so they brought this VIH to my country now Allot Victims in Yemen surfing from this Virus the Government with simple facilities tried to help but till now still we don’t give attention to this issue .

ANA, Croatia
Gladly I can say that Croatia is not that much exposed to Adis. People here does't worry to much when they entering the relationship becouse possibilities of geting diesese a still low.

kaka China
The education of AIDS is not spread and enough in my country, even there are a lot of people never hear about it, and some body have no idea about condoms.

Dehghani, Ali, IRAN
we can strongly say that the HIV problem is one of the most important world problems, as we know by world population growth the AIDS is become more strange and more uncontrollable for scientific society. All people from all part of the world is know about AIDS more or less but its not enough, therefore the only solution for attacking with this universal problem is education and training against HIV from the primary school by inserting it to education syllabus.

TingWa Hong Kong
AIDS is really a complicated task which has not yet been handled well in most countries around the world. It is stunning to hear from news that the number of people died of AIDS have been increasing year by year. Hope that medical technology will eventually find out a treatment of fighting against this well-known horrible disease.

koan stone the people's repulic of china
i am very glad that our premier Wen Jiabao shook hands with patients (infected AIDS ). I want to be a voluntary memger to help others to fight with AIDS.

Peter Wilkins UK
I have a girlfriend who is HIV +ive and always use condoms. However, most of the condoms even the extra strong ones do not last long enough, ie they break or slip off so I have to use two or three at a session. Are there condoms that can be attached more securely?

Fernanda - Brazil
While researchers are developing new drugs, we should talk about this issue more times on the television, radio, magazines and all the ways of comunication because there are people around the world that never have used condoms and do not know why it is made for.

mahdy-iran
i think that using a condom in sex operating & prevent from porno in my country help young man to be avoid from this sick. furthermore ,religious thought intend to decrease contact .

Wael, Egypt
Life is full of nice experiences rather than promiscuous sexuality.Being entrapped by your desires and not saying no to yourself makes you prone to be captured by the army of HIV .Tears and regret are for sure the consequence but the wise is who can save his soul from pain.our religion Islam prohibited promiscuous sexuality for our peace of mind and we can enjoy sex with our wife .

Hasan, Bangladesh
Aids is love but careless and imprudent

K.S Japan
I think people are indifferent to this problem in Japan.They think that AIDS is a problem in other countries. But,in fact,the number of the HIV infection is increasing. What is important is preventive education at school because young people are sexually active. They need to know what terrible consequences they will have after irresponsible behaviors.

sami / IRAQ
EXCERSISING MORE PATIENCE,SPORT AND EDUCATION ARE THE KEYS TO BE HEALTY AND FAR AWAY FROM THE AIDS OR ANY OTHER DISEASE .

Vincent FRANCE
How are we going to test the efficiency of preventive drugs for HIV/AID? That's immoral to ask somebody to have some sexual intercourses without any other protection suc as a condom.

Dana - UAE
In our country we dont suffer a lot of Aids problem because there not many cases in may country but in coming days i think the problem will be increased and ouur country is doing her best to give us the information about how to prevent from the Aids but i think it must also make in her consideration to give also information about the medicines and drugs which can help an aids patient.Thanks

Marilda - Brazil
The number of people who is infected by virus of AIDS is unhappilly increasing in Brazil. I think it is like this because the most of Brazilian people don't have a good education in the schools and think they don't need to protection theirselves and the Government doesn't give good conditions to the people get enough methods or knowledge to prevent or know about AIDS.

Mary Lu/China
People should more care about healthy of themselves, as well as others having close relationship with them. Brodcast and newpapers should tell people more methods of how to prevent being infected by AIDs

Manjeet,London
I think the Problem is more severe in third world countries rather then Develop world but measures should be taken in both cases and priroty should be given to litrate people about diesease after all as i see we are stressing more about drugs and immunisation rathur to take steps for prevention as it is less costly and more effective.

Jorge, Mexico.
AIDS is a mortal infection today. Many people are dying. We sould be responsible in our sexual relations, in agree with our personal beliefs (use condoms, abstinence, avoid high risk sexual conducts, etc.). Unfortunatly, in Mexico many married women are being infected by her husbands, and Catholic Church and others conservatives organizations discourage the use of condoms, so, many young people are being infected, too.

Josuel / Brasil
I think the most important the remedios. Because cust many dollar. Many cautries can not buy.

sunny,P.R.China
Three measures must be taken: physical treatment,moral and social responsibility, sex rules

tighrine sonya france
i think it's a very good idea the abstinence but a lot of people can't do this,so they muste use contraceptives.and i hope than we find a solutin for aids.

Cindy France
I think people are inconscient because the AIDS is a serious issue for everbody. You can protect you, so why doln't you protect instead of wasting your life and that of your child. I'm not sick but I thnik every body can avoid this issue. So protect you because this issue is not inevitable and with few motivation, we can stop it.

mohammed, saudi arabia
in my country the data about HIV is not clear and most peaple don`t know the nature of the disease and how to eradicate it. Inspit this the total no. of infected peaple not very high cause the Islam forbid ilegal sexual relationship.

Steve,China
About 3 years ago we never thought about the problem of AIDS,and media also never introduced AIDS to citizens.Recently the Chinese government has spent huge money on introducing AIDS and preventing in my hometown.In my opinion,AIDS is a social problem and every member of society has to cope with it and help each other.In China,some places are quite poor so people try to sell bloods to make money.Unfortunately,most people did not know what AIDS is and how they can be infected.Many people were infected,and they did not know the reason until they died.One day a media reported this event and many people began to worry about AIDS.Many people who have high education have acquired how to prevent AIDS.However,a lot of people who do not have enough education still do not how to prevent AIDS and what AIDS is.Some of sex workers always use condoms,but some of them do not use condoms.I think the most dangerious people are addicts,and the government can not control them,so most people who got AIDS are addicts.We should take care of them.

Katharina Willems, Germany
It may seem unbelievable, but although in Germany pupils receive lots of information about HIV and AIDS at school, more and more young people do not use contraception when they have sex for the first time. Carefulness seems to be out of fashion nowadays, despite all the warnings.

crag,china
In some poor countries ,government can not afford the medical expenses of aids.i think the rich country should take more responsibility to help the poor.

khaled bechou
the best solution for me and those aids is. firstly we have to be faifhly about what our god had said to us into the books but u should be reasonable people to find out these problems so far research where do these sickness come from , thank u khaled,

zahid kazmi Pakistan
I belive in Islam .Before 14 teen centuries ago,Quran said that don't intercourse with any woman except your own wife .If any married man do sex with anyother married woman ,so they both will liable death sentence.If any unmarried man or woman does sex with any unmarried woman or man they will liable for sentence of 80sticks .So If all the countries control on illegal sex then we can control on as like viris.We do sex only with our life partners .

Kerry China
We have been under way for a long time to research in kind of drugs that can help lot to people infected AIDS,and we still are.Not many people who are infected can wait until that moment ,they are streching out for help. But until now, nothing the world can do about it.I think it's a world job more than a personal job.We are supposed to stick together,to give them much care and love,help give them new "life" to live off.The world should give much more regulations and rules to protect their rights that left ,they are part of the world.For the rest of the people and of the area,people are supposed to and have to do more to protect themselves to keep the world "breath" than to give much pressure.Truly know how to love and to be loved is a wonderful feeling,do not let it be a danger.World needs people and people need "world".

Wendy China
It is very difficult to offer an opinion to these specific people (AIDs sufferers) about discrimination. For those who have contracted Aids through their own recklessness (e.g. intravenoues drug addiction and needle sharing), I don't think it is unfair to treat them with discrimination infavour of innocent victims (unwitting contractors), especially children. In my view, these people are criminal. It is said that it is unfair to normal people if these reckless victims are treated equally.

Wali . Mohd Afghanistan
In oure country recently the incharges of the publict health said some new things about HIV /Aids we hope to keep teh situation as the same in one the word dangaeouse sekness in the world specially in south Africa . As I red the paragraph about HIV only understood that tha main cause is parents engaged in lawless married or wedlocking , tell me more abut cause of emergeing this in the world?????

Su, South Korea
Most of all,Leaders around the world must be aware of this problem seriously

Gail, Canada
The prevention of the spread of AIDS is everyone's responsibility, but we know from looking at the state of the world, and the age at which people become sexually active, not everyone is responsible - not even close. So I agree with Judy in China; health and community organizations around the world must educate and make available free methods of protection. This cannot be done without the financial support of all governments, all millionaires, billionaires and pharmaceutical companies putting GREED aside, so that medications, condoms and other prevention methods are made readily available. If there is an innoculation that prevents one from getting aids, please make it available to anyone who needs it, expecially the children of aids victims.

Jan and Maria/Switzerland
We think the most important is to find an immunisation so that future generations won't have to battle against AIDS. But like Kofi Annan said, we will never find a solution for this sickness while states are spending more money to develop new weapons than develop a new immunisation.

Lina, P.R.China
There still are discrimination to those speical people. One potential problem is who can take care of Children of parents infected AIDS!

Judy China
I once thought AIDS was something far from my life and people around me. However, I felt that the situation has already been more serious than ever before.Everybody seems to have been aware of the existence of the terrible disease.We just got a little released from the suffering of SARS and I believe we should fight against AIDS together just as what we did when SARS attacked. We will win.

Toshi Japan
In Japan, about a decade ago, there was little concern about HIV because of a few patients who were mostly infected by blood transfusion treatment. Nowadays, according to a survey, the number of the infected patients by sexual relationships is appearently increasing at an alarming rate. A large proportion of the patients are young generation. In spite of the fact, sex education for preventing HIV infection doesn't appear to become more intensive such as at school and home or on a public information. There are some reasons to be considered for it. In Japanese, discussing sex related subjects in public has been a strong taboo. And the most important reason is that teachers or parents fear that giving the sex-education might make teenagers feel free to have sex by teaching how to have safe sex.

Kua Kamba - Africa
The main cause behind AIDs infection is anarchy in sexual relations .Each woman should confine to one partiner .

Sara, Belgium
One should stress the fact AIDS is a real problem all over the world and especially in Africa. At school teachers must talk about that big scourge with theirn pupils. Indeed I figure out that young people might me more informed as for this problem.

Julie France
I Think that the prevention must be more important because some people are not very good informed. Moreover, I think that condoms must be free or less expensive because adolescents don't have enough money to cost it. Everybody says: "You must use condoms", but when you see the price, you are choking. Condoms are prevention againts AIDS, so there must be less expensive.

liliang china
Many people were infeced AIDS because they had premarried sexual life or have many sexual partners. I think the most important way for prevention of AIDS is to live a moral life.If you married, you should royal to your marriege.If you have not married, you shoud not have premarried sexual life.Because you do not know weather the people whom you will have sexual life were infected AIDS.However, if your married or your friend were infected AIDS,you should not look down them,you should care about them. Use the condoms when have sexual life is the most important way.

Trend , China
im from a northeast province of China,there are few people who have AIDS though it is not so unusal in the south of China.So if you want to have sex without so much latent danger you should go to north of China...

Anne-Laure France
for many years we talk about aids every day on the television and in the news paper, but after a while when the treatement became effective we got less informations about this deasease. Now the teenagers in my country do nt know well aids and think you can be treated easily. We should never stop prevention about health. it is a good think to that everybody can have the treatment for a less cost than before.

Claudio_Argentina
It is new for me to prevent HIV with drugs. But it is a couple's choice the preventing method

Bibisey,TAIWAN
In my country,the problem of AIDS is not severe,and also the knowledge of precaution is not enough.I bet within few years this will be a big problem.The education of prevention should be soon be built up in Taiwan.

bennychee china
In China,many people who get HIV virus live in the place where they are poor!Some of them get the virus because of selling their blood for support their home!But they know little about the situation.Why do they sell blood?No enough jobs to live on.

jason China
I really fell very delight that more and more people in China and the world as a whole focuse lots of their attentions on prevention from Aids. As for China , I have the feeling that more and more pelple have been aware of the dangers caused by Adis and diseases transmitted by sexual behavior. Although we have make progress ,the circumstance is still quite unoptimistic,especially in the inland provience,most of the people where know little on such kinds of diseases

Iris Chen from Taiwan
I thought that people suffer from AIDS because they are homo, but I know I was terribly wrong. According to my knowledge, AIDS is not a punishment given to people who like someone with the same gender. It's better to say that people who have too many sexual parners are more likely to get this kind of disease than people who are faither to their mates. Taiwanese people may have misunderstanding of AIDS since that the health education in Taiwan was probably much more conservative than the other places in the world. Fortunately, although slowly, this situation is changing, it means people in Taiwan could be more acceptable to the sexual informations and then know more about the real matters. On the other hand, I think it's also very important for people to realise that taking medicine is not a good way for prevention because the medicine is chemical, it could damage our health, even make our immune system weaker, so we should build up the correct, positive attitudes toward the affairs of AIDS, that's what we should do.

wbp from China
I am a chinese boy,I think this illness is terrible!We must fight against it in many ways,but we must not lose our confidence to those have already been infected.In our country,the number of the infected is increasing day by day,our government is getting more and more serious about this issue.Besides the government works,there are also import things for us to do,which are the adaption of proper prevention methords,transmission of the knowledges,charity and love for the infected,and so on.The AIDS is one of the main problems not only in the developping countries like us,but also one in the richest and poorest part of the world.I believe,if we trust,we love,we work sholder by sholder,the honor and success is not so far away! Good luck for all the living fighting against this.Fair well for all the passed away because of this.

Marta V- Italia -
Aids is a terrible disease. It is very difficult to recognize and everyone can be infected. But to prevent this, is important use the mind in the casual relationship and in another situation at risk. In Italy there are many campaigns that hope to fight this 'ghost' disease.

isaid sabbah -israel
In my observation to AIDS disease is,into elements.first,as we know the HIV is exist,so due to fighting this issue wil be by education and explenation to all people specially for kids and generally to the rest.second,i think to decrease the state of disease is by going to specialist doctor before couples have sex or doing cantact to each others.

MARCO BRACCO ITALY
THE FIRST TYPE PREVENTION OF HIV IS USE A BARRIER CONTRACEPTIVE.LOVE AND PEACE BROTHERS!!

Anna, Italy
AIDS is a problem for free love

Laura
In Italy there are a lot of campaign against AIDS that try to inform people about how to prevent them to be infected by the virus. It is important to know about the risks and about prevantion.

Andrea Italy
In my country, AIDS, it's not a very big problem, but in other contries, this virus kill a lot of people. I think the prevention is the way to follow, for contrast the expansion of the virus of HIV.

Andrea Italy

Pietro - Italy
I believe that AIDS it's one of the most vaste and wide problem in the world especially in Africa. In Italy most people use condoms to prevent AIDS, but I think that is less considered nowadays. More information could be gave more prevention, not only in Italy but all over the world.

Claudio Castagneto, Italy
In Italy newspapers and televisions don't tell about HIV frequently. Actually the best strategy to prevent HIV-virus is the prevention; but like a lot of problems appeared impossible to resolve ten years ago, we can defeated AIDS in future.

matteo loschi from Italy
I think that The Church is the most responsable of diffusion, because, with his hate against the sex for pleasure and the consequential hate for use of condom, doesn't help anyone and increase the same diffusion. for me is also important give more help to pregnant woman, expecially in the third world, untill researcher will found out a final medicine

italy
probably one of the most big way to transmitted AIDS is the prostitution or free sex with person that you don't know very well.... this is a funny things, but is it so funny to risk your life?

Alessandro, italy
I think that in italy information is good but again more peolple are disinform about this problem.in my opinion church should be thinking to use of condom as a important prevention to save more people

Dario Italy
Hiv si surely one of the word greatest problem in this century. I think we should not ignore it because many people think that the AIDS is still far away from their lives. I hope that a cure will be found early and wuold be share with all the world.

luca italy
At the moment, like always since a lot of time, many people is going to die, and it's no possible because the life is the most important thing of everyone of us. Don't be crazy, use the condom and you will live better!

Xtian Italy
A couple of days ago in Italy Researchers thought they have find a cure for this disease. and they are looking for some human "Guinea pig" to test how their studies works.

marcolino,italy
the only way to stop this kind of problems is education,the richest countries must ignore their profits and help the poor one ...but as we all konw thi is totally impossible

Andrea, genova (italy)
I'm sure that if the young people exactly knew the real danger of HIV virus they'd get more attenction about sexual practice. We all had to work in this way for a better future.

Marco from Italia
I think that the problem of Aids should be face since the age of 10. Children must be put in front of the problem. They must know that Aids is one of the terrible problems of umanity. This is important because preventing is better that curing.

Fede - Italy
The main problem in Italy is with Religion. The Christian Church is strongly disencouraging the use of condoms, thus improving contagion dangers.

Elisa Carbone from Italy
I think that, at the moment, it's very important the prevention. the use of condoms it's our only way to reserve us from AIDS. It's very difficult for me accept the rules of church: Italy is a cattolic country and near from me there is the Vatican that refuses the use of condoms. Here there isn't good information and it's very dangerous.

Diego Italy
I think that AIDS is a very important problem in the world and that in these days is less considered so in this way this problem can' t risolve. Everybody must help the association of AIDS!

Andrea, Italy
In my opinion, AIDS is a very big problem. Unfortunatly many people, also in my country, think that it is far away from their lives. Few people adopt precaution of HIv virus. Every country in the world should make a strong public health campaigns.

steve China
From my point of view, the AIDS is becoming dangerous day by day in the world, especially in the developing countries. For example, in China, in recent years, more and mor people have been infected by the HIV virus in China, and most of them are living in the poor countryside. In henan province, one of the biggest province in population in the middle of China, has more AIDS carriers than the other parts of China. The Aids not only has given the patients angony, but also has made their children helpless. This just because of poor family life. When the children's parent(s) had AIDS, their parent(s) can not earn enough money to support the family and most of the children lost their chances to continue to go to school. Fortunately,the China government now has seen the importance of the problem and has taken some measures to tackle it. Through the sustained effort for several years, the threatning of AIDS to people in China will be less. I have full confidence that our mankind will overcome the AIDS evil.

Beth, Brasil
In my world, the ONG's are teaching the secondy students to protect themself for HIV. The church don't like the people use condom, but the women are working and paying the bills. They listen the ONG's, social assistent and the doctors, then they are saying "not" to condonless sex. But, a lot of the men don't like to use it. This problem need to be combated with massive publicity. When the people don't speak about this, they forget the problem. Education is the way to eliminate this plague.

PIlar from Spain
I think, that all what your had sayd is truth, It is necessary a preventive program, and information. here lately, they don't give a lot of information how before. Today I read in the newspaper that the HIV was increased. Here also had increased the infection in heterosexual couples. I think that we need to remind always of the dangers

The only solution to aids scourge as far as the situation is concern now is abstainance. The campaign on it has to be intensified.

Robin from China
The Chinese goventment really should do more to prevent the virus from spreading.For example show people what AIDS is.How to keep away from the disease on TV or radio programmes.

Peter Wang from Canada
The education of AIDS protection is still not widespread and deep enough in some areas.

June from China
Nationwide concern on AIDS has arose resently. A preformance given totally by HIV-infected will be on the stage in the biggest theatre of our city. This is maybe the first time that infecters do not avoid showing up publicly, Certainly it will influence people's attitude towards AIDS much.

Mavis, Myanmar
in my opinion, pre-prevention surpasses treatment. people who have sex with many people must acknowledge the danger of HIV. It is everyone's reponsiblity to keep the world less invaded by AIDS.

Hiv is one of the worst health problem in Africa as everybody knows. But there is also one thing that it is much more dangerous for the people of Africa as well is education. Majority of the African people don`t beleive the effection of HIV. Even the member of the churc`s are not accepting that Hiv is the reason of their people`s death. They also beleive that condom can not prevent spreading of HIV. I have seen a tv program in BBC world service channel that A small group of African were demonstaring to use condomds and their leaders were from the churchs. While they were burning condoms they were also laughing in front of the cameras as well. I stil can not beleive how this kind of things can be happen during the 21. centuries. None of them had any idea what they were doing. There are so many things have to be teach them as urgent as possible. Because it seems that they don`t have enough time to survive.

i think te main resone of it's excite is the speeding away from the religion,however the religion is the only vaccination for AIDs.

Hassan Iran
I must say thank you for y site.In Iran each day increases HIV cos there is no control and Goverment deny that!!!

Justin China
I think the things of vital importance that all of the world should work together and share information together so that HIV can be conquered earilier.

This issue is quite complicated in our country. Some sources from foreign organizations told us that HIV is endangering our life and others from media in our country said that we should not have worrid about that since everything is in the control. In fact, I prefer the latter and could feel that our life is far from HIV. Certainly, we should not ignore it. Nowadays, the sexual life of Chinese people is much different from that in the past, especially young people. According to a survey, on the average a young man in big cities whose age ranges from 23 to 28 has 2-3 sex partners simultaneously and some of them enjoys the condomless sex. Thus, it is a sure thing that this would increase the risk of HIV transmission. In addition, as for infected persons, most of us discriminate them from normal ones. Actually, we know the rights of them and they need to be respected, but it is hard for us not to keep distinctive distance with them. As a result, we choose to embark on relationships with people who do not have virus. This is the part picture of HIV in my country from my eyes.

Pieter, Africa.
Aid's is increasing rapidly. The majority of people in our hospital got AID'S.(staff included) Zimbabwe is a burden on her neighbour's.Sick people are flooding over the border to get treated.

Recently I read an article about the ignorance about AIDS in China.It said that fourteen per cent of the people they talk to in China didn't even know what AIDS was,the worse result in any of the countries included.Well,it was an disappointing result,right?And the former president Bill Clinton also complain about this case in China.But China is such a large and developing country that it is impossible for the govenment to tell everyone about the details.And what is the fact is that China is making her effort to manage it.Almsot all the people in large countries know the details about AIDS,especially the educated people.So what I want to emphasize is that:give China more time ,she will do it better!

As a matter of fact,should we maintain to ignore the HIV ,the spreading out of HIV will have become more terrible,exceeding our expectation in the future so that it is time we required our authorities to devote more resources to exploring the deadly diseases.Though many officers would rather to insist on improving the economy than spend money researching the science, its research is still the most essential.No matter how many resources we invest on research,we will gain the sweet-result in the end .That means it is vitable to improve the input of resources on science research .Hardly though the job is , it is sincerely hoped that any scientist will face up to it.

miftahul jannah,Indonesia
In my opinion ,aids really dangerous desease,so willy nilly we must to decrease the impacts of aids immediatelly,may be by using save sex and I think the most important thing is by having faithful patner,or I mean we not change our patner whenever we like ,it dangerous.But we must to save the people who are involved aids we should help them ,dont try to excommunicate them it more dangerous

Melody, China
Many Chinese think that the AIDS is still far away from their lives. Although the media emphasis that the AIDS patients and the HIV virus infectors are more than one million now in China, most Chinese seldom contact with the HIV infectors. Because more than 60% of HIV infectors are drug takers,only 7% are infected by sexual relation,so few people would adopt precaution of HIV vrius. I'm a student of a medical college.As far as I know,a few hospitals in China are able to check the HIV infection. In countryside, most people regard AIDS as a plague due to lacking of the knowledge.I think my country should try its best to rise the public attention to the AIDS and help them establish the correct attitude to AIDS.

Malik from Pakistan.
The all Viewer's. The Best Way the Islam Told us. Just why we have to go the different females for sex, Just get marry with a girl or woman and live with her whole life you will never be affected by HIV so its the Best Solution.... Live with one woman dont go to other women for sex. thanx.

gold pole,china
during the past years ,the number of hiv carrier and aids infected have increased much.so i think that more effort should be taken to deal with the disease.people can conquer sars. people can also conqer aids, if we try to

jessica china
ignorance cause frightness and confusion! our goverment should pay more attention to the education on this social problem.and people should give more care for the people who are infected HIV.more concern, less confusion.

Tracy, Shanghai China
In our country, the situation about AIDS is obviously divided into two parts. In the richest and most developed cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing,Tianjing,HIV is always transmited through sexual way.In the backward mountainous villages or even less developed cities, unclean blood transfusion is the mean cause.Because quite a lot people in poor health or bad disease are selling their blood ,either to support their family or forced to do so by violence threat from the vicious power which lives on the money the blood sellers get.So in my opion, strengrhening the constrction of law is essntial to protect virtue transmition in China.

violet South Korea
I think that the most important thing is prevention in HIV virus transmission. Until now there are many country not having sufficient knowledge about HIV. So it is necessary to educate people

Han Gye Soo. S.Korea
Any country can't be safe from AIDS on the earth. Also there is no special remedy to cure this disease. sound and strict sexual relationship keep you from being infected HIV. Having improper sex or sharing uncleaned needles are likely to dig your AIDS-graves. I'm not sure exact year,in our country, a shocking news made the headlines. A woman who had been serving as a hostess at a pub had sex with 100 men in order to spread AIDS widely and disappeared. later health authority announced that she had been listed on a HIV-positive patients.her action was a kind of revenge toward entire society, because she had been gangraped and infected AIDS, forced her to leave her family. of course men who had sex with her worried about their health conditions, safe or not. one moment's self-indulgence can lead you to a complete breakdown of your family. The solution is simple and clear; sound and clean lifestyle will guarantee your healthy furture.

Min from Korea
Actually I don't care whether my partner get HIV virus or not same as most of korean. Probably I'd like to believe that our country would be safe from AIDS. It is no doubt that we'd better go to hospital and get a check whether we get HIV virus after having relationship with someone who are expected to get HIV. However truth is that we don't. Which makes us be curious if we are safe. I'm sure that figure that government estimated people get HIV is much smaller than real figure.

srinath, India
A lot is being done in this country. Still a lot has to be done. The biggest problem the country faces is ignirance. The ignorance of knowledge. They know it still ignorance is bliss in times of bliss
