There is no cure for AIDS. AIDS is something that an infected person must live with for the rest of his or her life. The HIV/AIDS rate in Miami continues to rise at an alarming rate. Those already infected with AIDS struggle to find ways to pay for medications.
So what is Miami doing to help these struggling people?
The Aventura Hospital teaches about HIV/AIDS every other Monday. Jackson Memorial Hospital also has support groups, which take place every Tuesday. For those who do not speak English, they offer Creole-speaking support groups on Wednesdays and Spanish-speaking
support groups on Thursdays.
“We teach them about safer sex, and disclosing,” said Edgar Resto, a Health Educator at Jackson Memorial Hospital. “We teach them how to maintain a quality life, and how to live better.”
Resto said the support groups are fun for the participants, because they play games and interact with them in different ways.
For those with full-blown AIDS, they can receive medical insurance to help pay for their medications through the Ryan White Fund Program, which was established in 1991 to help underprivileged citizens of the community get the help and medication that they need if they test positive for HIV/AIDS. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Qualification for funding through the Ryan White Program depends on one’s income level. For example, a single person cannot make more than $29,000 a year in order to qualify for the funding. A household of two cannot make more than $39,000 a year. These rules apply to the state of Florida only.
“It’s an expensive disease,” said Arlene Merrill, Director of Infection Control at Aventura Hospital. “Medications can range from $30,000 to $55,000 a year. Some cost up to $15,000 a month."

This year, Dell will air its first-ever Super Bowl commercial intended to help raise money for AIDS treatment programs in Africa. The commercial will feature a set of crimson-red special-edition personal computers and a printer for sell, which will help benefit (RED), a program to help fight AIDS among women and children in Africa. The program was co-founded by U2 lead singer Bono.
Back in 2004, the number of male HIV/AIDS cases reported in Miami was 1133. The number of female cases reported was 468, according to the Miami Dade County Health Department.
The number of Hispanics reported with HIV/AIDS back in 2005 was 413. The number of blacks reported that same year was 369. In 2006, the number of HIV/AIDS cases reported for MSM, men who have sex with men totaled 844. The total number of HIV/AIDS cases reported in Miami in 2006 was 1,202.

HIV/AIDS patients have a tendency to grow certain types of bacteria. Many of the medication
s can cause cancer, bone disease, and other serious problems.
HIV, which stands for the human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV infects the CD4 cells in the human immune system. The more CD4 cells that HIV infects, the closer a person is to having full-blown AIDS. When the CD4 cell count in a person’s body has dropped down to 250, the person is considered to now have AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency System. Those who share needles, have anal/oral sex, get body piercing, tattoos, and share the same straws to snort cocaine, have a high risk of being infected with the HIV virus.
The Aventura Hospital sends all of those who test positive for HIV/AIDS to the Miami-Dade County Health Department.
Jackson Memorial Hospital is considered a first point of entry. It is where people come to get tested for HIV/AIDS, and from there, the hospital refers you to different clinics, psychiatrists, and other support systems.
The University of Miami Hospital offers support groups on Thursdays. Doctors from the UM Hospital go to the Jackson Memorial Hospital to help them provide services to patients.

I deemed it important to let the world know about a man who cured me of HIV/AIDS, he is Dr. Iyabiye, and I never take it seriously when I first saw his recommendation online. I reached out to him not because I believed it but because my finances was running dry for buying HIV/aids Antiretroviral drugs to slow down the viral load all the time. But behold I got cured after the treatment. I went for checkup just as the doctor instructed and I was tested negative. Here are his contacts if anyone wish to reach him for help: +234-815-857-7300, iyabiyehealinghome@gmail.com
