2. Types of diseases
Waterborne disease- caused by organisms that are transmitted in contaminated fresh water
HIV/AIDS- Aids- chronic life threatening condition caused by HIV by damaging the immune system HIV stops your body to fight organisms that cause disease. HIV sexually transmitted infection
Tuberculosis- infectious bacterial disease characterized by growth of nodules in the tissues

3. Waterborne Diseases
Waterborne diseases are any illness caused by drinking water contaminated by human or animal feces, which contain pathogenic microorganisms.
 Throughout the years, waterborne diseases have vastly increased negatively as more and more diseases are created through bad sanitation and hygiene
In developing countries such as Bangladesh and India, 4/5ths of all the illnesses are caused by water-borne diseases, with diarrhea being the leading cause of childhood death.
“Today we have strong evidence that water-, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases account for some 2,213,000 deaths annually and an annual loss of 82,196,000 Disability Adjusted Life Years” (DALYs) (R. Bos, Dec. 2004).

4. Impact
It is estimated worldwide that over 2 billion people are infected with Schistosomes (is considered the second most important parasitic infection) and soil transmission which results in 300 million of these illnesses resulting in death
Waterborne diseases have been the cause of many dramatic outbreaks of facial-oral diseases such as cholera and typhoid. However, there are many other ways in which facial material can reach the mouth, for instance on the hands or on contaminated food. In general, contaminated food is the single most common way in which people become infected.
 Once someone gets infected with a waterborne disease, quickly it will spread to those around them which will cause death at a higher rate

5. Solutions
Although in less developed countries there isn’t much you can do to prevent such a strong waterborne disease from happening, they can ensure that if they do happen to get infected they try to take care of themselves first. By putting other family members and friends in danger, that one person who got infected first is at risk for creating a bigger population of sick people.
Those are all more fortunate, should put a team of people together to travel to less developed countries ensuring help and guidance to those who are sick.
May it be bringing clean water or help treating people, anything to help stop the transmission of the disease is humbling to those are in need of help.

6. HIV/AIDS
The virus that causes HIV/AIDS destroys the immune system, which protects the body from disease
AIDS is a chronic disease, potentially life-threatening condition caused by HIV. By damaging your immune system. HIV interferes with your body’s ability to fight the organism that cause disease.
The virus passes from person to person through sexual acts, through blood transfusions, from used hypodermic needles or from mother to child during birth
There is no found cure, even with the most expensive treatments, death is a certainty
It has been estimated that at the end of 2007, 33.2 million people were living with HIV. Around 2.5 million people became newly infected that year and 2.1 million died of AIDS
The latest research traces the origins of AIDS virus to a virus that spread from chimpanzee to humans in the equatorial Africa in 1930

7. HIV/AIDS- Difficulties With Cost Of Drugs
Majority of people living in developing countries with HIV/AIDS are unable to access treatments for the infection or anything related to that. Antiretroviral therapies has benefited persons living with HIV/AIDS in developed countries. But the death rates have dropped by over 70%, these treatments seem impossible to people in developing countries. Average annual per person in high countries in 1999 was $25,730, places like sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia was $500 and $440. The annual cost of antiretroviral therapy in the states can be from $10,000 to $15,000. Drugs for treatment of opportunistic infections are also very high and hard to afford

8. Impact
According to the world health organization at the end of 1999 there was an estimated million people living with HIV/AIDS, 20 million have died
An estimated 15,00o are infected each day by the disease.
In the local level some pathogens live in the environment and are transmitted to humans directly

9. Social Factors
Chronic diseases are increasing globally and seriously threaten developing nations' ability to improve the health of their populations. Although often associated with developed nations, the presence of chronic disease has become the dominant health burden in many developing countries. Diseases are costing developing countries socially by spreading immensely. Since poorer countries are unable to help sustain from disease, the quicker the disease will spread causing death at a higher rate.

10. Political Factors
Incomes: A large portion of developing countries in the world spend under $1 or $2 per day. The poor spend a large proportion of their incomes on food, may lack access to basic infrastructure, and own few productive assets.  By not having the money like richer countries, such as Canada and U.S for instance, they are unable to afford proper health care. If they are prone to any disease, such as HIV for example, they will likely have no chance in survival. Disease already is something that advanced countries have trouble treating, but by not being able to pay for that treatment they’re in far more in an inconvenience than others.

12. Earvin Johnson
Diagnosed with HIV in 1991 “ one of the keys to living with HIV is finding a treatment plan that may be right for you then sticking with it. For some people getting through the first few months of HIV therapy can be tough, so discuss it with your doctor. The decisions you make today can make a huge difference for years to come”

13. Effects Diseases Have on the Body
Bacterial Meningitis- approximately 25,000 cases of bacterial meningitis annually in the states can kill a person in 48 hours or less, can cause severe swelling in the brain and spinal cord and it can lead to amputations of the limbs, fingers or toes. Severe scarring, brain damage, hearing loss and kidney damage.
Tuberculosis- Airborne but the bacteria can attack any part of the body but will usually stick to the lungs. Can affect several organs of the human body including the brain, kidney, and the bones
