HIV/ AIDS
The Modern Day Plague (HIV/AIDS) Topic: The effects HIV/AIDS have on young women in the world
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, the audience will be informed on the risks of HIV/AIDS and the steps you can take to prevent this from happening.
Central Idea: With this infection growing in the world, we must make sure that we are educated and that we avoid the behavior that will cause us to be exposed to the virus
Preview: We must understand the causes, risks, and prevention related to this virus that is taking over young women today. Thesis Statement: In this informative essay, I briefly discuss HIV/AIDS, identity the 3 demographics from HIV/AIDS (age, gender, how people contact it), and how to prevent this growing epidemic.
Introduction: Tina Middleton caught HIV from her partner at age 20. She didn’t know her partner had HIV until she got pregnant. Her life was changed forever and she thought that it was over. Tina didn’t let anyone know about the news. When she came to deliver the baby, the staff took extraordinary precautions to protect themselves from being exposed to the virus. The steps they took to protect themselves was horrible for Tina. She had to get put in ward on her own, away from the other mothers. She had to finally confess to her family and friends because they wanted to know why the nurses were all wearing masks. Imagine if you were in this situation?
Another horrible story, Olivia Ford was 17 when she found out she was HIV positive, but the shocker was, she was born with it, and had been affected by it for 10 years before she knew about it.
Imagine if you were in this situation?
1. HIV is one of the leading causes of death in the world.
2. According to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (2009), 1.1 million Americans are living with HIV/AIDS, estimated 18% of people living with HIV are undiagnosed, and every 9 ½ minute someone in the US is infected with HIV
