CBSNews.com by Ryan Jaslow (excerpts):  (CBS/AP)  Once a death sentence, AIDS can now be managed so effectively that people that live with the disease can live almost as long as those without it - but that's true only for those who get good medical care.  Unfortunately only one in four Americans with AIDS has the virus under control, according to a new CDC report.  "The big picture is, we could do a lot better than we're doing today," said Dr. Tomas Friedan, the CDC's director.  Why is the treatment success rate so low?  Partly because of the 1.2 million Americans who have HIV, the infection that causes AIDS, 20% don't know they're infected.  That's 240,000 people.  People can have the infection for years without developing symptoms. 

Commentary:  There is not much being said about AIDS these days, but considering the facts above, it should cause a person to wonder why.  Maybe it is because there are overpopulation concerns and strategists figure "leave it alone."  Whether you hear the facts from American (propagandized) media or not, you need only consider what the Bible says to realize that without God on your side, the world is headed for destruction in these last days: "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24.  God told Moses, "The blood will be a token on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague will not destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt" Exodus 12:13.  The scriptures tell us that plagues, or pestilences if you will, are allowed by God against those who are wicked and disobedient.  The "blood of the lamb" described in this scripture, was a type of the blood that the Savior, Jesus, would shed on the cross one day to cover our sins.  Plagues do not come upon those who walk in righteousness before God; they are a scourge against the wicked.  However, Salvation is offered to all who call on Jesus.  If you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
