There are several diseases that can be fatal and have a faster progression than HIV/AIDS. Some examples include:
-
Ebola: Ebola is a viral disease that causes severe bleeding and organ failure, and can have a mortality rate of up to 90%. The disease can progress rapidly, with symptoms appearing within a few days to weeks of infection.
-
Rabies: Rabies is a viral disease that attacks the central nervous system, and can be transmitted through the saliva of infected animals. Once symptoms appear, the disease is almost always fatal, and death can occur within a matter of days.
-
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD): CJD is a rare, degenerative brain disorder that is caused by abnormal proteins called prions. The disease progresses rapidly, with symptoms including dementia, muscle stiffness, and involuntary movements. Death usually occurs within a year of onset.
It's important to note that while these diseases may progress more rapidly than HIV/AIDS, they are also much less common and often have different methods of transmission. HIV/AIDS is still a major public health concern, and there are effective treatments available to manage the disease and prevent transmission.
