AIDS is being considered as one of Africans' major problem, however the issue
of AIDS has been elevated due to the presence of acute poverty in most part of
Africa. In most cases the poor usually gets the disease, and consequently not
being able to attract medical attention or treatment ( such as the very much
expensive antiretroviral drugs), and as such causing more deaths and increasing mortality
rate across
the continent. Though government of countries are trying to make impact in
reducing the effect of AIDS but most a times the actual victims don't
feel the impact.
AIDS is a threat to poor Africans
Due to that fact that the epidemic has caused much destruction and concern for
Africans, this section of our website is dedicated to the state of AIDS and
Africa.
