The Tormenting  Sea of HIV

We cannot stop the waves, but we can 
build a stronger boat.

The Cruel Symptoms of HIV

Loss of Appetite

Appetite can virtually disappear. Food tastes putrid.  This causes swift wasting away of the already fragile body. 

Head to Toe Rashes

Horrible itchy rashes can cover the body from head to toe. The insistent scratching then opens the door to infection.

Bedridden Weakness

AIDS victims become weak from the body's inability to fight. Many become bedridden, unable to play or go to school.

Mouth Sores

HIV attacks the lymphatic system in the body, causing painful raw sores to form in the mouth and throat.

Ringworm

Weakened immune systems make bacterial infections all too common. Ringworm is one of the most prevalent of AIDS symptoms.

Mental Agony

AIDS victims often succumb to mental distress, experiencing depression, despondency, melancholy and unease.

A Shortened Life

Those experiencing the AIDS virus often face a much shorter survival time. 

Stigmatization

AIDS victims are shunned by others in society in fear of catching the virus. Can you imagine living with this stigma?  It is terrible.
