Abstract

This paper deals with global Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and situation of this disease in Bangladesh. The disease is alarming in poorer areas as like Africa, Latin America, Caribbean islands and some parts of Asia. This paper aware the people who have very few knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Due to ignorance of people, HIV/AIDS is spreading to the developing countries. An attempt is taken here to show the world about the discrimination to the societies and their effects to spread HIV among deprives. Some medicines help the patients to live comfortably and find a longer life than those who do not take any medicine. But yet no vaccine/medicine is invented to prevent the diseases or to cure the diseases completely. Prevention is the only way to get rid of from this fetal disease. The origin and some treatments of HIV are discussed in this paper. The paper will give proper knowledge to the ignorant people to become consensus about HIV/AIDS.
