AIDS has killed 22 million people and it spreads with
frightening speed. No known cure exists, yet we do learn some lessons in our
battle against it: Firstly, speak to your community, in a way
they can hear. Many communities have a low literacy rate, making it impossible
for passing out AIDS literature and expecting people to read it. To solve this
problem, ask people in the community to create low-literacy AIDS education
publications. Secondly, train teenagers to educate their peers. Because AIDS is
spreading fastest among teenagers, the program trains youth to go into the
community and explain the risk of catching AIDS to friends at their own age. At
last, redefine "at risk" to include women from different backgrounds and
marriage status. According to the Centers for Disease Control, women will soon
make up 80 percent of those diagnosed (诊断)with HIV (艾滋病病毒).
These lessons are not the only solutions to the crisis but until there is
a cure for AIDS, education represents the only safe measure to guard against the
virus. Lessons against AIDS 1. AIDS spreads with frightening speed, and
