On the CDC website they answer many questions related to the Swine flu, things you should do to prevent and what to do if you do get it. “Illness with 2009 H1N1 virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred.” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ). The CDC tells us that the cases have varied, but most people have recovered without even needing medical attention. The only real reason that this H1N1 vaccination seems to be needed is to prevent getting the flu and other flu’s like the
It is a common belief that Herpes is only contracted from a partner who has an open sore, but stdexpress.com claims that the virus can be contracted from a sexual partner even when he or she has no symptoms present. Abstinence from not simply sex but any physical contact is the only known way to completely avoid the transmission of HSV from someone who is infected. Latex condoms have been proven to reduce the risk of transmission as well as taking the drug Valtrex daily. According to stdexpress.com, the human body can take from two weeks to six months before HSV antibodies are developed enough to be detected. This results in some people having false negative results when being tested for the
The most challenging part of controlling HIV is the traditional and new medication through public health facilities. Many health officials, HIV/AIDS advocates, medical professionals try to bring forward their best effort to help people with HIV/AIDS not to get discriminated against.

First and foremost there is only one way to be 100 percent sure you will not become pregnant. In Bruce Bawer’s article “The morning after is too late for Safe Sex” he points out that “The only truly safe options, as leaders of the religious right regularly point out, are monogamy and abstinence,” but in today’s society that option is unfortunately becoming less and less realistic (Par. 2).

We all know of someone who has it or heard about it on TV. But I don’t think everyone realizes how dangerous these diseases can be. Indeed, it is shocking how many lives have been cut short, AIDS is one of the most dangerous because you can only control it but not cure it, AIDS patients will have to take medication for life and any interruption would give the virus a chance of coming back.
