Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome ( AIDS ) is
one of the major catastrophe that pose a major threat to the population of the
world in the coming decade. Ever since the first outbreak on the 5th of July,
1981, there had been thousands of more people getting infected, and little
care as been given to the origin of AIDS in terms of research to find possible
solutions of the disease. Currently there had been over 30 million people that
have been confirmed to be living with AIDS.
Unlike most other diseases AIDS remains incurable, no suitable cure
has been found for the disease and thus prevention remains the only way to be
without AIDS. The knowledge of the real Origin of AIDS would play a significant
role in ruling out a suitable cure for the epidemic and as such we need to get
to it's root and know more on the "GENESIS OF AIDS". It's obvious
that there had been lot of websites on AIDS, but very few goes deeply into
exploring the origin of AIDS. We decided to make this website to propagate a
detailed origin of AIDS and bring up it's history in an exciting learning
environment full of fun for everyone.
