The battle to win the fight against HIV/AIDS is a challenge that we've been undergoing  for many years, this virus has become a global threat to everyone who could have the risk to contracting it. Protecting everyone from this disease is a goal that has been proposed yet, this solution hasn't sufficiently helped everyone globally who have been infected . Knowing how to treat this sickness is the key to start prevention, first educating the public about HIV/AIDS and how to not expose more people is a excellent way to begin prevention to it. Then again, this may be successful in the United States which has focused on eliminating HIV/AIDS in communities and decreasing the number of infections in individuals as much as the we desire the world to be like this other countries don't assist the people in their nation with the proper medication and treatment. Governments unable to fund or access medical treatment through outside resources causes high fatality rate for HIV/AIDS not being taken care of. Which is why educating in a international stance will inform people in rural countries to take a stand for their health plus doing this international assistance will bring medical treatment to these rural areas that will approve the health for these people before it's too late. Even though, HIV/AIDS should be an illness to be wiped out for the human race ignorance to this disease causes more issues for this case because  of societies attitude toward HIV positive people develops  a discrimination. Many fear this prejudice to be too harsh which is when testing becomes a horrifying to do, being anxious about the outcome for having HIV/AIDS due to this ignorance causes alarming concerns to hiding your diagnosis. Importantly, homosexuals take in a harder time for acceptance  in society  this causes more prejudice to these people who don't deserve it. Today, homosexuality is an issue in other countries who still don't accept their sexual status plus their diagnoses to HIV/AIDS prejudice occurs because of homosexuality having the possibility to be illegal  in their country causes more negative impact to these people in this case.  As a result a decrease of testing appears to harm the population in these countries making people more at vulnerable to be in risk to get HIV/AIDS, in some scenarios governments and religions also discriminate these people which makes it "okay" to judge them upon the their social status in being dominant. Whichever country that undergoes to this discrimination this issue needs to stop ignorance is a real issue for HIV/AIDS globally victimizes these people to think they cannot live and be normal again because being diagnosed with HIV is already a brutal enough. Ignorance is a leading cause to risk people for HIV/AIDS because people aren't willing to learn how to prevent themselves to not contract this virus and be protected by the innovative ways, learning to be safe and having the knowledge about HIV/AIDS will improve a safe life to get infected but it is still important to not treat HIV/AIDS ignorantly especially with people who have it because now it can be anyone. Get informed, get tested, be involved to stop this crises of ignorance!

Luckily, today people who are friends, related or in a relationship  to a HIV positive person usually accepts their situation and still associate themselves  with them is morally  appropriate. Now that HIV/AIDS is a common virus it is not that shocking to hear someone you know is diagnosed with it as long as they treat themselves is all that counts. Due to this HIV positive tend to live normal lives' because they urgently do treat their status, which now causes the life expectancy for these individuals to be normal and healthy, this positively impacts the lives' of these people because they thought their life was over being diagnosed. Regardless to the increase of life span for HIV positive individuals, there is still negative judgment from the public, this is known as Stigma which is an impact the effects you mentally and emotionally this could be a negative assumptions. But nonetheless, HIV positive people also deserve the right to live a normal life as possible and not hide in fear because they have contracted an disease that can expose more people to it.

HIV/AIDS has been impacting peoples lives'  by having to get extensive medical treatment and even the everyday struggle that HIV/AIDS executes, by having the virus itself will create so much stress to your body which effects a person's daily life. Yet, everyday people who are HIV positive deal with an inequality in society where if people know you are HIV positive creates an atmosphere revolving your disease with everyone knowing you have it. This discrimination is called Stigma, which is a mental disorder due to incorrect negative judgment this is harmful because of the popular usage and attitudes towards this issue still occurs today.  Stigma effects an individual mentally because it attacks a sensitive subject that involves them the actions  that occur of Stigma is  prejudice, violence , and fear. Although, attitudes are greatly involved to this concern for example many people give out Stigma to HIV positive people because that's the way they were raised, some people are raised with different morals than others which causes tension to these issues of HIV/AIDS. Many may have to face this discrimination from this virus, though this doesn't claim to blame the person with the disease it is time to change and stop  these discriminating factors that greatly impact people negatively . Educating the public about Stigma occurring in society is necessary because it is a real issue despite whatever a person believes in or attitude it is not morally correct to discriminate a person like that due to their health. Which is why our attitude connects to our way to think, we do hold the right for opinions however to live in an environment where inequality may not occur will demand an understanding for this situation. Being considerate towards these people about their virus should be taken place so Stigma won't occur, additionally gender inequality are a leading cause to Stigma as well. Women being treated as non-important figures in society still takes place today, men are dominant which causes medical treatment and social treatment to deteriorate. Women not being respected especially being HIV positive motivates the neglect, rape, and violence for women this makes women powerless to stand up for their position in society which is unacceptable! No one deserves to be treated with disrespect with having a disease or even gender equality, Stigma is a real issue that needs to be solved before it starts taking lives' like HIV/AIDS. As previously mentioned, it is essential to educate teens and the public about this global issue this is another form of prejudice and segregation towards these people based on our attitudes we need to change our motives to a more positive and open minded perspective times are changing and HIV/AIDS isn't a small issue, its global. Stigma education should be conducted in schools and be promoted in public to break this way of thinking and let people live their lives' peacefully. People who are HIV positive want to live a healthy and happy life but with all this negative judgment how could they start living with all this hatred? Stand up and stop Stigma!
