Question
I got the topic AIDs for my research project i know that the whole thing is to big
of a topic to have for all of my project, but i was wondering if theres one thing
about it that would be a good not to huge issue about AIDs for my project.  

Answer
Dear Hayley:

Peace.  Usually we don't do homework questions here; that being said, I have a talk upcoming with about five minutes on a panel; it can be difficult to choose one aspect of the epidemic.  My advice is that you look at your audience and what they would find most interesting; good resources available online at World Health Organization, UNAIDS, and www.thebody.com  - hope you find something good!   Thanks for being part of "getting the word out" about this disease.

Best to you!
