AIDS History: Diagnosis and Causes
Bill Gates became a huge benefactor to the cause of AIDS research and assistance. He contributed bountifully to form a partnership with governmental agencies in Botswana, which is heavily afflicted with AIDS. He created a foundation to help people get the medical attention necessary to live a better quality of life while wrestling with this virus.
Shocking though it may seem there was a bit of controversy in the 1980s as to whether or not AIDS was really caused by the HIV virus. Some scientists blamed a weakening of the immune systems of people on the development of disease and others just thought it was a different virus.
Eventually science was able to prove the validity of the theory that HIV indeed causes AIDS.
Nelson Mandela was also a big proponent of AIDS activism, outreach and education. George Bush, Jr. was an activist against the spread of the AIDS virus.
We value and respect the experiences of all of our HERWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
