HIV is a virus that can be spread by body fluids that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, often called T cells. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease which makes it very dangerous and can be fatal.
South Korea acknowledges AIDS/HIV as a huge issue and is very dangerous and possibly attributed to foreigners or immigration but have little to no evidence. Overall south Korea views that by raising awareness domestically people can make safer choices and become more comfortable with being tested or treated.
South Korea believes that world health organization should allocate resourced into more education and acceptance of HIV/AIDS as awareness could cause a better understanding and acceptance for preventative measures for fatality and increase treatment.
