Today is World AIDS Day and many cities are hosting ways to bring up awareness of this Disease. Although AIDS is an uncurable disease, there is hope to finding vaccines and funding preventative measures. 30 years ago AIDS was a new disease and virtually unknown. Today with an estimated 33.3 million infected and 1,000 babies born each day with HIV in Africa, struggling economies are finding it hard to keep up with prevention and awareness. There are many reasons why countries in Africa and Asia are having difficulty in controlling the number of those infected with the disease; the lack of modern medicine, preventative measures, lack of education, and unstable governments.
