Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise AIDS is a deadly disease, which is spreading fast throughout our country.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Let’s remember: Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise． Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise AIDS is a deadly disease, which is spreading fast throughout our country．It breaks down body’s immune system, which can be passed on through unprotected sex，infected blood transfusions or at birth.
There is no cure available for the disease and AIDS patients have to deal with the fact that they might die young．Unfortunately, some people aren’t familiar with this disease．All too often，people treat AIDS patients as if they were bad or dangerous．
????? Because of lack of knowledge about how it gets transmitted，there are a great many people who have contracted AIDS in China and the number is increasing．The disease does not keep them from enjoying their life．? With the AIDS problem becoming increasingly serious, attention should be paid to it .As high school students, we must devote ourselves to studying and keep away from drugs ．In a bid to show our concern for AIDS patients, we shouldn’t look down upon them．I think care and love from society is the key to helping these sufferers． Let’s remember: Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise．Thank You!
