AIDS
AIDS has taken many lives in the short time it has been around. It spread rapidly before doctors knew what it was and how it spread. But, with awareness it has slowed down. The bubonic plague took one-third of the European population, violently attacking peoples' lives. It was the last time a disease took down the world population. It spread fast because no one was sure how it spread or what it was, so they had no way of stopping it at the time. One of the only diseases comparable to the bubonic plague is AIDS.

They would even leave their crops and cattle. e let their guard down and are more likely to have unprotected sex (AIDS. Now when people discover someone has AIDS, they try keep away from the AIds victims, out of fear. The only reason it was devastating at the time, is that Europe did not have the vaccines or medicine to kill the diseases. In the future, someone will find a cure for this virus and AIDS will be looked at as people now look at the bubonic plague. Awareness of AIDS has helped slow down the spread in the USA, and it has also taken some of the fear away.
