HIV/AIDS, the most publicized deadly virus is fast becoming a national calamity, as it spreads throughout the political subdivisions of Liberia.

By All Account, the virus is endangering the lives of thousands, especially the youth population from which much is expected in terms of national development.

As WE SPEAK, hundreds of people either consciously or unconsciously have fallen prey to the deadly HIV/AIDS virus. In some clinics and hospitals in Liberia, diagnosed HIV/AIDS infections are apparently dominating the report.

AT GANTA, PHEBE, CATHOLIC, ELWA Hospitals and the Government Hospital in Buchanan, reports of HIV/AIDS diagnoses are very disturbing. At these various hospitals, HIV/AIDS diagnoses are being made on a daily basis, with nearly 20% of those tested proven positive.

TRUTHFULLY, THE HIV/AIDS infections' rate is multiplying across the country. Death rate in relation to the virus is seemingly high although some people ignorantly associate it(death rate) with "witchcraft activities" and "African Science".

NO DOUBT, the children, young and the elderly are sufferers of this deadly disease.

IN SEVERAL HOSPITALS and Clinics across the country, the conditions of HIV/AIDS sufferers are bad. Some of the victims, with absolutely no hope of survival, whimper for death. Often associated with pain and frustration, the virus is by all account a threat to humanity.

WITH THESE CANDID analysis and coupled with our desire to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS virus in the country, we will, like in our previous editorials, call on the Government of Liberia, United Nations and all HIV/AIDS crusaders to join the campaign aimed at fighting this killer disease.

WE BELIEVE, the fight against this killer disease will achieve its desired objectives once we all work collectively.
