A Petition To Help Find A Cure For AIDS - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We are growing up in a world were AIDS is something that affects everyone. At one point in time in our lives someone that we know may become infected with this virus and not only will it affect that person, but it will affect the entire family.

"Worldwide, 33 million people are infected with HIV or have full-blown AIDS; 90 percent of them live in Africa, Asia and Latin America." This quote is from www.abcnews.com. Unfortunately, drugs that alleviate symptoms are far too expensive for AIDS patients to buy. Often patients are not even told that drugs that could help prolong their lives exist.

Also, the AIDS virus mutates easily, so drugs must be administered in a full course or the disease could become more deadly to the patient. Some AIDS sufferers will do anything they can to get drugs for the virus. One man, Winston Zulu, got his drugs from a company in Europe. He could not finish the required course of treatments, and is now concerned that if he were to start them again, he may be immune to the drug.

The vine Aucistrocladus Koropensis, found in the Amazon Rainforest, is very effective in treating AIDS. You can read a site on this at:

Two years ago, Dr. Gary R. Davis applied for FDA approval of a drug he was working on. His drug proved to be very effective, however, he did not receive approval.

If you want scientists to try harder to research a cure for this debilitating disease, and to get this drug approved, please sign this petition. The quicker a cure for AIDS is found, the fewer people will suffer and die from it.
