Hiv and Aids - The coming Epidemic in the United States

Hiv and Aids are diseases spread by sexual contact. They came to the forefront of the national scene with many important actors, sports figures, playwrights, and members of the arts society being infected. Formerrly they were death sentences but now sufficient treatments exist, consisting of extremely active antiretroviral therapy, or Haart. Although available, this medicine costs about 20k per year.

Several trends indicate that this disease is expanding in imaginable numbers and within the next 20 years, will reach truly epidemic proportions, said Dr. Marcus A. Conant, clinical adjunct professor at the University of California at San Francisco, speaking at the 2009 American Academy of Dermatology in San Francisco March 7th. "Currently, 58,000 individuals come to be infected with Hiv each year, the same estimate as the total estimate of American soldiers who died in all the years of the Vietnam conflict."

"But the numbers are expanding and are bound to growth more. For example 20% of black males in New York in the middle of the Ages of 40 and 49 are infected. And only a small estimate know they are infected."

Why is this estimate increasing? First and foremost, sexual behavior patterns. In years gone by, individuals were monogamous. Now, many individuals have more sexual partners, and often have more than one within a short period of time.

Second, circumcision prevents the spread of aids. Less individuals are circumcised.

Third, drug usage affects sexual behavior. Years gone by, cocaine and heroin were the drugs of choice in the sexually active communities. Now, methamphetamine is much more in vogue. It's a stimulant, and under its influence, young adults have several sexual encounters. "Couple that with Viagra, and Viagra is most generally used in young adult males, and you have a requisite situation," says Conant.

Fourth, immigration from affected nations is expanding to the United States and habitancy are not screened.

Which states and cities will be involved? The Southern United States -California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri (the meth capital of the United States) and large cities like Chicago and New York.

What can be done to avoid this disaster? social education, use of condoms, and adopting a distinct attitude. "Permissiveness is causing this to spread." "Preachers can take a more active role".

"In Africa, spread of this disease has largely been by the trans- Africa highway. Infected truck drivers transmitted the disease to bar workers and the disease was then spread to others in the community. " "We should learn from this experience. Soon the disease will spread throughout the southern United States for similar reasons," says Conant

I am deeply concerned about the still increase in population of people living with HSV, HIV, CANCERS, HEPATITIS, STROKES in our society today because of ignorance, to be Frank all this big names are grammars. I saw comments of people DR UTU helped get rid of their diseases, with the increase in population of people living with various diseases and myself as a beneficiary to DR UTU traditional cure I thought I too should reach the world via comment. Many People believed traditional herbs are so primitive and some are even shy to purchase it in public. Some went as far as trashing the legendary name of herbal medicine hiding its numerous advantages and let publicly it disadvantage and yet makes it look big, all this are just for pharmaceutical gain. All pharmaceutical cure are derived from existing traditional herbal cure from ages.

It was a wonderful experience knowing Dr Utu.
I had a sudden onset of cold sores and a new one was appearing each day. I'm on primary immunosuppressant I noticed my body just can't fight this virus on its own. After five days of treatment and no success I suspected herpes I went for test and it was confirmed. I knew I was in trouble as I've already lost appetite for everything about life I've heard of people who suffered this disease for years with no hope of solution. Imagine the pain and trauma keeping it a secret. God was my strength I met a doctor for treatment who after telling him of my ailment he advised me to start with herbal medicines if I wish to live longer than doctors estimate He taught me the strong effects of plants on animals and how possible nature have perfected itself. He gave me Dr Utu's contact. I contacted him immediately, I told him the whole history which he gave me satisfactory answer. I purchased and started using his herbs as he had directed. This medication was far amazing that within 24-48 hrs the blisters were crusting over. The swelling and redness was decreasing as well. I continued on dosage as prescribed one week later I noticed total comfort in my body system, I informed the doctor who advised me to continue medication till later end I was on four weeks herpes medication which I completed before going for test. I went for herpes test and then again back to my doctor who confirmed me herpes negative it was really like a dream. What a relief! I thank you greatly Dr Utu for giving me back my life I'm the happiest man on earth. Reach Dr Utu directly via email: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. TO CURE YOUR DISEASES WITH HERBAL MEDICINES
