Summary
Alive and Deadly reveals HIV’s ongoing impact, raising awareness, ending stigma, and inspiring resilience at hiveaid.org—protect, support, and stand together.
Alive and Deadly. HIV has not gone away. This virus is still very much alive and is just as deadly. According to descovyhcp.com, “An estimated 40,000 new infections will be diagnosed this year in the United States (US)2.
Approximately 1.1 million individuals are at risk of sexually acquired HIV.” You can view the entire article at https://www.descovyhcp.com/.
According to unaids.org, “In 2018, around 770 000 [570 000–1.1 million] people died from AIDS-related illnesses worldwide, compared to 1.7 million [1.3 million–2.4 million] in 2004 and 1.2 million [860 000–1.6 million] in 2010.” Young women aged 15–24 years are twice as likely to be living with HIV than men. Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV. It accounts for around one in three AIDS-related deaths.

So, what do these statistics mean to me, and what do they mean to you? These statistics show a life destroyer is still lurking and will take advantage of our lack of discretion. The psychological effects of living with HIV can cause a person to lose interest in life and compassion for others. Despite the use of antiretroviral therapy living with HIV can give you a feeling of helplessness. You want so much to say something to her. You also want to say something to him. Yet, your illness prevents it.
HIV has not gone away. It still kills. Only, quietly now like so many other diseases moved from the media spotlight. Protect yourself and others. Respect yourself and others. Remember that you are the world. All its peoples are within you. Show love by not deliberately harming them.
