Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a deadly disease caused by HIV, a viral STD. AIDS causes a person's immune system to effectively die, thereby leaving the person helpless to whatever other diseases they may be afflicted by from that point onward. AIDS is believed to have originated in the 1920s, when people in what is now the Republic of Congo hunted down and ate chimpanzees, being blissfully aware that they contained the virus. Thus, a monster was born; the disease spread to humans, and panic ensued...well, not until about sixty years later, but you get the idea.

AIDS is typically managed by regularly doing the healthy equivalent of a drug cocktail in order to supplement the body's lack of an immune system. But wait...doesn't that sound expensive? That's because it is; there was a drug that was proven to be very effective at managing it, but it was (literally) made 500x more expensive by a man who is now rotting in prison for his crimes against humanity.

AIDS is technically incurable, although some people who suffer from it have reported that it can go into remission if you're lucky.
