What Has Been Done in the Past to Combat AIDS

There are three possible solutions to AIDS that would be most effective in my opinion. They are educating the population on AIDS prevention, government funding and other world leaders pooling their resources together to combat the disease—through medications, treatments, and so on—and to fund private medical laboratories to work around the clock to find a vaccine. It is no secret that there are laboratories around the world working together to try and find a cure to the disease, but in many cases, the funding is just not there. The majority of governments—especially in Africa—do not seem to have their priorities straight about funding money. They spend most of their funds on construction and education. This is not a bad thing by any means, but who is going to build on these construction sites or go to these schools if they are all bed-written because of AIDS. Just telling these governments will not do much because not everyone follows what they are told. We have all seen this with the DARE program and how people we know have still tried drugs or smoke cigarettes. To have an effective solution to the problem, people will have to get their priorities straight and spend their money correctly.
