AIDS and the fact that the virus keeps changing and has made it difficult for
scientists to find a vaccine or cure for it. You will also learn about the signs
and symptoms of HIV and AIDS. Again, you will learn about a social
history of HIV and AIDS IN Ghana as well as the social impact of HIV and
AIDS on individuals, communities and the nation. Since HIV and AIDS
affect us all, a section will also discuss some mobilization efforts to combat
the disease.
