Thousands of people are infected and children are being orphaned because of HIV/AIDS. Not everyone knows the impact AIDS has in every community and every business or organisation. According to STATS SA, an estimated 7 million South Africans are HIV positive. Almost all of us are affected by HIV and AIDS. There is really NO cure for HIV/Aids. The best we can do to prevent this disease from spreading and taking more lives, is to educate and create awareness. Knowledge is power.
 
According to the etu.org.za website, in 1990 the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS was 60 years. This has decreased tremendously over the past few years, and now most infected people won’t even live to see 60. Statistics show mainly women between ages 18 and 40 and men between ages 30 and 50, are the ones who are mostly infected with this disease. These are our working age groups as well as our childbearing women who sustain the population. It is safe to say that this epidemic will badly affect our society as a whole today and in future.
