Amy Langton All A.I.D.S research should be funded by the government. Today A.I.D.S has become a large concern within society. Sexually active youth areconstantly threatened with the chance of getting A.I.D.S A.I.D.S is everyone's problemand a cure has to be found. With funding from the government, it will provide the capital necessary for the researchto find a cure, to stop the spread of A.I.D.S; eventually bringing down the number ofpeople contracting and spreading the disease. Presently, many people have contracted the A.I.D.S virus, and it has become close to anepidemic. People who are sexually active have this constant threat of the disease loomingover their heads. The people that contract the disease are normal people just like you andI. This disease does not favor any race or sexual preference. Many more people than youmight believe have this disease, and the thing is many of these people, don't even knowthat they have the virus. Although many people may consider A.I.D.S research as costly and ineffective it isextremely important as a cure is found. Research requires a lot of funding whether it beprivate or government funding. This money is exceptionally important, as it provides theequipment, and the peoples salary who are doing the research. The amount of moneyneeded for the research may seem like it is a lot, but it is worth it.

People are dieingeveryday, and many more are in hospitals; so if we find the cure we will save lives, and getthese people who have contracted the disease out of hospitals, and living on their ownagain. Furthermore, research to stop the spread of A.I.D.S must be done. Meanwhile, in thesearch for a cure, research has to be done to find better methods of stopping the spread ofthe disease. Presently, we have a few methods but the most common are abstinence andthe use of a condom. The only method that is 100 percent is abstinence. The condom isnot 100 percent and you still run the risk of contracting A.I.D.S during sex. In conclusionas A.I.D.S is becoming more common and there is no cure we need to provide the fundingto stop this fatal disease. For this reason, it is important that the Government providesufficient funds for research. .
