Three symptoms occurring together: fever, rash and a severe sore throat… Read More Worlds AIDS day: Some basic information
I think that by now, everyone over the age of 18 (if not 16) has heard about AIDS. However, although it has been over 25 years since the virus was first identified, there are still too few who are fully informed about the subject.
