Ever notice how viral diseases have their own PR teams? HIV/AIDS has been the OG pandemic villain for decades, but then COVID-19 swoops in with its fancy media coverage and suddenly it's the hot new threat!

The hilarious truth bomb here is that while both are serious viral threats, COVID got the spotlight treatment with 24/7 news cycles, while HIV/AIDS continues its devastating global impact with way less headlines these days.

Fun fact: HIV has infected ~76 million people since the epidemic began, while COVID infected over 760 million in just its first three years! Different transmission methods, different media frenzies, same scientific challenge of battling viral enemies that keep evolving to outsmart us!
