December 2024 – It was one of the best Holiday gifts the world has ever had. At Christmas eve of 2024, a group of scientists has announced that they have found a cure for AIDS. After many decades of studying the spread of HIV in many parts of the world, including parts of Africa and the United States, the team of scientists from the Society for the Destruction of AIDS (SDA) has finally found a way to cure the dreaded disease.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks a person’s immune system and can lead to fatal infections. It can be transferred via blood transfusion, sexual intercourse, and breast feeding. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the most serious manifestation of a Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection. It was first discovered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in June of 1981. (Source: www.wikipedia.org)
Since its discover in 1981, so many steps have been taken to stop the spread of HIV. Many organizations and celebrities have contributed large amounts of time and money for research of HIV cures and the education of the public on ways to prevent AIDS. Television campaigns on safe sex and the use of condoms have been launched by popular companies like MTV. Despite these efforts, HIV continued to spread all over the world.
In February of 2008, Society for the Destruction of AIDS (SDA) was formed. The SDA is an organization funded by celebrities and multimillion-dollar companies for HIV research. In March of 2008, the SDA sent a team of thirty scientists from all over the globe to different parts of the United States to make studies on HIV. These scientists went to places where AIDS was most rampant. Some of the scientists have been unable to continue due to health reasons and returned to their home countries. Three of them have been infected with HIV. Still unable to find a cure, the remaining scientists decided to make a trip to Africa.
In May 2019, seventeen out of the original thirty made their way to Africa. Just like what they did in the US, the scientists traveled to parts of Africa where AIDS was most rampant. Despite their lack of facilities, the scientists persevered. In March of 2021, Microsoft donated over 50 million dollars worth of digital equipment that would aid the scientists in their quest to eliminate HIV. Little by little, the team of scientists began to uncover possibilities on how to cure the virus.
Over seventeen years after their quest began, the Society for the Destruction of AIDS has finally attained success. At the 24th of December 2024, live from their new office in South Africa, the president of the SDA, along with the fifteen remaining scientists, broadcasted on television and over the Internet their wonderful news. The details will be discussed in the weeks and months to follow.
