AIDS/HIV DESTROYS FATES
[12:55 pm] 01 December, 2006
The HIV carriers are looking for mercy. They suffer
not only from the illness itself, but also from the
negative attitude of the society. The specialists
think that if the society changes the stereotypes, if
the people cease to look upon the illness as a stigma
and become more caring, they will contribute to the
improvement of the situation of the patients.
Statistics show that half of the HIV carriers catch
the virus before they are 25. Many of them die before
they are 35. Even if they manage to have children,
they are brought up by grandparents, sisters and
brothers. The children of the society's rejects
usually have the same fate as their parents.
Investigations show that those children can be
discriminated against, including restrictions on
health, education, and social security services. Very
often these children run the risk of repeating the sad
fate of their parents.
Armenian specialists have made sad predictions that
HIV/AIDS will continue to influence the lives of
coming generations too.
