Question
QUESTION: Can you tell me some details about most common human diseases?
such as MALARIA, TYPHOID etc

ANSWER: Hi Aswin:  Thanks for your question.

This is WAY too complicated for this website.  Instead, I will give you some sites you can use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_fever

There are plenty of infectious diseases out there.  How did you pick these two, and what do you really want to know?

QUESTION: I got tis link already
but it is too lengthy
I want a small note which include symptoms, cause and prevention methods of
Typhoid, Malaria, Common Clod, Cholera, Hepatitis.
Most importantly AIDS and CANCER

Answer
Hi again, Aswin:  If you want someone to summarize the internet for you, this is not the place.  

You can look up each of these diseases and find out what you want to know just by reading through the information.  It will be a lengthy process, but you will learn how to quickly sift information to get what you need.

As for the link between AIDS and cancer, look at this site:

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/aids/

My advice is to look at these websites and try to read them.  Then if you have specific questions, come back here and I'll try to answer them.
