Care for AIDS
What a horrible thing it is to study AIDS when people didn’t
have enough knowledge of how the disease spread,At that
time,most people believed that it killed all the people who
once touched it,If someone took it into the lab,he didn’t
only put his own life to be at risk,but also his coworkers’,In
the following ten years,they might all be fine,or they would
fall down one by one,It is never a joke,But there were still
lots of scientists devoted their lives to study it without any
hesitancy,One of them said,I am studying the cells others
are not willing to touch… no matter how,I love the job,If
you are afraid of breathing the air that polluted by the virus,
please go away,you can’t do the work,
Care for AIDS
We must show our great respect for these
scientists,without them,our knowledge of AIDS
would still stay at a low level that was even thought
to be transmitted by air,
In the hope of defeating AIDS,Scientists have
made a great efforts to study it,Though,for making
the dream come true,there’s still a long way to go,
we firmly believed that as long as we stick it out,we
will succeed in the task,
But what should we normal people do? Helping
and caring for AIDS patients is what the people with
kind hearts will do and should do,
Care for AIDS
The AIDS patients usually treated unequally,They
haven’t been living life up any more since they touched
the virus,They often have difficulties in choosing jobs,
making friends,and even getting medical treatment,
Though the power of individuals is limited,we can
perform a useful function by caring for and educating
people about AIDS,That is,making more people
concern AIDS,helping us and even the whole society
gain confidence,
Care for AIDS
Providing understanding,information and encouragement,which
they need most for them,is a best way for helping AIDS patients,
which can make them become more confident with medical
research organization,
It is an inevitable that we will overcome this virus,As long as we
never give up,nothing can defeat us,

one cause of death in most industrial nations,The heart
disease has claimed more lives than cancer or accidents,
