( Due to the menace caused by AIDS it wa...)AIDS: from the heart stories about AIDS and you!,Health

Due to the menace caused by AIDS, it was imperative that a gigantic initiative taken and so 'CNN Presents' and the Clinton Global Initiative teamed up to bring together// some of the world's leading AIDS experts and activists. The idea behind this exercise was to find ways to fight and combat this killer.

To involve the people CNN.com asked readers for their comments on how AIDS has affected their lives.

Those moving and sleep jolting stories are presented below:

Kristan, Kettering, Ohio writes about the tragic death of her uncle due to AIDS. Speaking of praises about her uncle she said that he was the bond of their family. In her own words, 'I remember being 13 and my mom coming into my room and collapsing on the floor when she got the call. No one is the same. Most of us went on anti-depressants or alcohol. Living with the death of such an exquisite human being killed us all inside. He was an actor, a real estate agent, and a fantastic brother and uncle. He wanted children of his own but knew it wasn't possible. He died way too young. And that's my AIDS story.'

Expressing the pain of a mother Linda, Atlanta, Georgia says that her son was diagnosed several years ago as HIV positive. We come from an upper middle class background. I look at the way AIDS has become a disease that affects all. Just as we have an obligation to support countries that are victims of genocide, so should we support the hungry and those suffering from AIDS. she said.

As a ray of light and hope comes the story of Michael, Los Angeles, California. He says that he is one of the fortunate ones -- a long-term survivor, benefiting from the cocktail. It has been a blessing, but not without its challenges. People dealing with AIDS deal with significant stigma attached to the disease. It's not like having another chronic condition like diabetes. It has affected my career, family and social life. There needs to be a cure, not just a treatment!
