Overpopulation has been a constant problem since the late 1950. Government all over the world are concerned about it mainly because the increase in population is not only a threat to the humans itself but also the planet which we live on, resources are in limited amount as long as the people keep increasing the demand for them will also increase. In a study it's shown countries with less GDP have more population than the country with more. China had imposed a one child policy to control population it makes us wonder to what extent can the government go to control the threat of overpopulation?

Now let's talk about HIV/AIDS, each one of us is familiar with this deadly disease and it's impact on human life . It makes us wonder that how did such a deadly disease occur and how did it originate? According to research,it is a virus called SIV found in chimpanzees which was similar to HIV in humans.The connection of these concluded that this virus was the source of HIV and due to the consumption of the chimpanzee's meat the virus spread in humans and resulted in HIV. The first verified case of HIV was seen in the Dominican Republic of Congo.The virus was recognized in 1980 and it brought down the population to a great extent. The virus was said to be originated in Africa which was a very populated country at that time. After several years still no cure of aids is found with the scientific development. It is questionable that a cure is still no where to be found.
Average life expectancy of a person who is a suffering from HIV/AIDS is 63 that is 15 years earlier than the natural span of a man and 19 years earlier in women. Although this case is possible if the patient is taking medication for the disease .A person who isn't capable to get the medicines won't last a year.

For millions of year chimpanzees and monkeys have been on this planet in fact they were the first to go through evolution. Then how did after , living for so many years and not getting affected by any kind of change did they catch such a deadly virus? and moreover, at that time when the world had started to become overpopulated. . We know that it is a prime concern of the government to control the population, could it be a strategy to control the growing population? was it a coincidence that this virus started from the most populated country at that time? is it possible that the scientists are not able to come up with a cure to this virus and many more deadly disease because they are instructed not to,because they know about this strategy of the government?

what if the help you are receiving doesn't benefit you at all but benefits the helper?
