6. Read the following passage and answer the questions below: [5x2=10]

 There have been epidemics, even pandemics before, then why should AIDS be seen as such a special case, a problem with so many dimensions ? To understand this, it is necessary to recognize the special feature of this disease. The first ground of it's uniqueness is that it combines two features not previously found together in quite such stark and absolute terms. There are, firstly, that it is the most prominently a sexually transmitted complaint and, secondly, that it is deadly disease lacking at present any medical means of prevention or cure. To expand these characteristics a little further, it is necessary to say that, in the case of this diseases, a person, once infected, is infected for life-but also infectious; that this condition is without visible effects for a number of years, during which a person becomes increasingly more, not less, infectious to others. 'Infectious' however, is to be understood not in the sense of more modest illness, in which a disease may be easily passed from person to person in ordinary social contact, but in the sense that it is likely to transmitted only in highly specific ways: sexual intercourse or blood to blood contamination. As far as the absence of a cure is concerned, it is important to stress that this is a virus infection. In medical treatment of the many other illness, the sufferer's immune system itself overcomes the infection. But the AIDS virus destroys the natural immune system, so creating a problem that has never before been encountered.

 Questions:
(a) Why is AIDS treated as a special case ?
