People live for about 10 to 20 years even after they develop aids. But when they get swine flu it kills them within a few days.H1N1 can spread faster as it can spread through air.

yes...recently its widely spread in our place too...have to take too much care, even in children's school it is announced that those having even a bit problem with health..should not come to school....don't know why God need to spread so many diseases for human to suffer...but can't help...lets just take precautions and keep ourselves safe from these things ..

Your statement along makes it clear which is worse. Given that a person could live for another 10 years with AIDS and only days with the swine flue it is clear that AIDS would be preferable. If you truly had another 10 to 20 years it is possible they may find a cure for it in that time. Not for swine flu.

Swine Flu can be cured if the person who has it must be cuarantine and take required medicine, it only became severe if the person who has affected by Swine Flu have disease or illness presently like heart disease, liver disease and different kinds of disease. If they will be affected by Swine flu, their disease and condition will only get severe. While in Aids, I am not sure if there is a medicine now for it, but it is still dangerous, I think more dangerous compare to Swine Flu.

The swine flu doesn't always kill people - and it doesn't always happens "within a few days", like you say. I've heard of many survivors from the Swine Flu - I believe if it's caught early enough, there's a medical treatment for it that gets rid of it. I would much rather catch the swine flu that deal with having aids. Aids..like..puts your immune system out of commission, meaning that even a small chest cold can end up killing you. I wouldn't be able to live in a bubble like that; I would be too nervous that every time I sniffled or sneezed and had a slight head cold, my body wouldn't be able to fight back & help me recover. I couldn't live like that. And there's no cure for aids, whereas there IS a cure for Swine Flu. I'd take the Swine Flu any day.

In my opinion, AIDS is more deadly and dreadful. When you get AIDS you are bound to die even though some people can live up to 15 or 20 years with the help of medicine. However, there is a chance of fully recovering from swine flu and it is something preventable. It's just as deadly as the regular influenza, and way more people die from that than the swine flu.
