HIV AIDS Is Real Protect Yourself

Photo Taken By Bev Vycital Personal Collection This picture illustrates how the HIV AIDS epidemic in Africa is very real The photograph is of a single tree with a sign nailed to it that reads HIV AIDS Is Real Protect Yourself With over sixty percent of the African population living with HIV AIDS Africa is considered to be the leading continent in the world with outbreaks of this deadly disease AIDS imposes its heaviest toll on developing countries Of the 42 million people who are infected today the overwhelming majority are in the poorest nations of the world Sub Saharan Africa is the region that has been hardest hit The overwhelming majority of the thirteen million children who have been orphaned by AIDS live in that region Africa has had two major HIV AIDS epidemics The first took place in the 1980 s and remained largely restricted to homosexual men the second much larger one took off in the 1990 s and spread rapidly among heterosexuals There are various reasons why HIV AIDS is so common in many African communities some of these reasons include not using protection and the belief that the AIDS virus is caused by poverty rather than HIV the belief that social status is the cause of the disease Socioeconomic conditions are also known to be important determinants of the spread of HIV infection Although this deadly disease is literally affecting hundreds of thousands of people every year in Africa there has been no real cause for concern until recent years HIV AIDS has severe affects on the people of Africa It significantly lowers life expectancy the disease is being passed down from generation to generation and there are not enough resources in the country to try to maintain the spread of the disease As noted in The Children of Africa Confronts Aids there are many consequences to be faced by the HIV AIDS epidemic AIDS influences political actions because it constrains state resources changes the nature of political communities and reconfigures how individuals view their righ
