An outbreak of a disease just broke out in the U.S and quickly spread throughout the world. This disease caused a terrible symptom; it cause those infected to become very pale, there eyes turn black, and they become...cannibals. Now the way this disease started is yet to be discovered, but the way it spreads is by being bitten by one of those that have been infected. There is yet a cure as well, so once you are bitten, you are gone. This disease is called Contagion. Even though the disease is very deadly, one thing that can be more dangerous is actually...people.

What is HIV? What is AIDS? HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection. The last stage of HIV infection is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS have a low number of CD4+ cells and get infections or cancers that rarely occur in healthy people. These can be deadly. But having HIV doesn't mean you have AIDS. Even without treatment, it takes a long time for HIV to progress to AIDS-usually 10 to 12 years. When HIV is diagnosed before it becomes AIDS, medicines can slow or stop the damage to the immune system. If AIDS does develop, medicines can often help the immune system return to a healthier state.
