The highest numbers of AIDS cases are found in Mumbai in India which is known as die AIDS capital of the country and is closely followed by Chennai, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Kol hapur. Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Delhi too have a number of HIV cases being reported in die recent years. Since this disease is spread by sexual contact, the infection percentage is high. Therefore, people should be noticed how AIDS is spread, what are the treatment, and how this disease affects our society.
AIDS was first recognized as a lethal disease in 1981 when five men were presenting pneumonia and skin cancer. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) called it "the 4H disease", since the syndrome seemed to affect Haitians, homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. Then it was finally called AIDS. The CDC (1983) reports that the initial AIDS infection might show general symptoms like fever, body ache or headache and then lie normal for years together without showing any other signs. Next, a person may develop enlarged glands in the neck without pain or other symptom. Other symptoms can be fatigue, weight-loss, chronic diarrhea, cough and night sweats. The last stage of die disease takes at least ten years to culminate into a fully blown AIDS.
