Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected place out of the world by aids and HIV.About 22.5 million people in Africa had HIV at the end of 2007.There are four southern countries in Africa that have more than 20% of it's population that have aids.South Africa is experiencing on of the most severe HIV and aids epidemic in the world.At the end of 2005 there was about 5 and a half million people living with HIV.Almost 1,000 deaths occurred every day due to AIDS
It's not possible to cure aids or HIV so the people that have it will have to live with for the rest of their lives, but their lives will be cut shorter because of that disease that they have.It's possible to treat the symptoms but they'll still have to live with the disease until they die.Almost one in five adults are infected by that disease. The rate that the disease is spreading through out Africa is 100 hundred times bigger than the United States, still the sex activity is the same.
In some of the countries in Africa they expect the people living there to only live about forty years of age. More people in Africa are getting HIV/AIDS due to the shortage of nurses.So there would be less African Americans right now that wouldn't have that infection but they do ,and one of those reasons could be that they don't have a nurse to attend them and try to prevent them from ever getting the infection.
We need to do something to help them ,we have to remember that they are humans just like us. I'm sure that if the United States was going through an HIV/AIDS epidemic that other countries would see what they can do to help us, maybe not Africa because there is a lot of poverty over there,so they need to help themselves before they can help us.We should raise money to send over there so they can buy medications to help prevent the infection.Maybe the IMPACT money can go over to Africa next to help decrease the aids epidemic.
