Reply 1 (HIV/AIDS): It is unfortunate to know that HIV/AIDS continues to remain one
of the most pressing problems associated with the global population with detrimental health,
social and economical outcomes. Despite the increased worldwide awareness on the associations
between sexual transmission and HIV/AIDS acquisition, it seems that there is comparatively
less awareness on various non-sexual disease transmission mechanism as observed from the
increased rates of HIV/AIDS prevalence among individuals engaging in usage of unsterilized
injections. Hence, prevention is truly the best cure for chronic illness management of HIV/AIDS,
and must be accompanied by educational interventions where governmental bodies must focus
on conducting health promotional and awareness activities. This is require educating the public
on preventive sexual as well as non-sexual strategies underlying HIV/AIDS prevention.
Reply 2 (Breast Cancer): Indeed, Breast Cancer is a major detrimental chronic illness
associated with a majority of women residing in Canada as well as other countries of the world.
Despite its high rates of prevalence in Canada, it is truly encouraging and empowering the
observe the country’s efforts on prevention and management of breast cancer. Cancer treatment
is often associated with huge financial constraints and hence the collection of funds for adequate
treatment of the same is truly a wonderful initiative by the Cancer Society in Ontario. Further, a
key way of preventing cancer is associated with adherence to health lifestyle and dietary
behaviors. Hence, targeting the same, the Canadian Cancer Society’s initiatives to organize
seminars on inculcating public awareness on cancer is another benchmark in terms of the best
health interventions provided by this province.
