AIDS
AIDS is becoming one of the most important problems of the modern world. According to “AIDS Epidemic Update 2000” and the World Health Organization (WHO), the current number of people living with HIV or AIDS is 36.1 million, more than 50% higher than predicted in 1991. And this number is increasing every day, hour and minute. The greatest number of inhabitants sick with AIDS or HIV live in Africa. Over17 million Africans have already died of AIDS-three times the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world, orphaning 10 million or more African children.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections.
Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) spreads only by direct contact with the virus. People who get AIDS get it by:
having unprotected sex (sex without condoms) with a person who has AIDS;
sharing a drug needle with someone who has AIDS;
getting blood from a person with AIDS;
birth from a mother with AIDS;
touching blood of a person who has AIDS where you have a cut or a sore.
Many people, mothers and their children were infected with the AIDS through the syringes and bad quality medical equipment. But the common way of getting infection is sex. The easiest way to be safe from the AIDS is to use condoms.
Ukraine has one of the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world. About 1.63 percent of Ukrainians, or about 756,300 citizens, were estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS in 2007, up from 1.46 percent of the population in 2005, or 685,600 citizens. The number of HIV/AIDS cases in Ukraine reduced by 200 or 3.9% to 4,900 in the period of January-November 2008, compared with the corresponding period of last year. Ukraine has one of the highest rates of increase of HIV/AIDS cases in Eastern Europe.
Identified in the country in 1987, HIV/AIDS appeared to be confined to a small population of foreign students until the mid-1990s, when a sudden and explosive epidemic emerged among injecting drug users in the southern and eastern regions of the country.
To prevent HIV and AIDS in Ukraine there’s Olena Franchuk AntiAIDS Foundation in Ukraine. It’s the first private organization and its goals are:
to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ukraine;
to reduce its escalation;
to support people living with HIV/AIDS by improving their quality of life.
The annual Ukrainian Fashion Week made a special clothes collection “Love Fashion AIDS”
