AIDS Deaths Plummet In Africa

A new report from UNAIDS shows that 7 million people are currently in HIV
treatment across Africa and the death toll from AIDS is falling rapidly. The
report was introduced this week at the 21st Annual African Union Summit in
Addis Ababa, Africa. The news also comes just in time to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the African Union (AU), a consortium of all countries on the
continent.

Though activists say it's been a 10-year battle to get antiretroviral
treatments to the people that need them, since 2005, the number of people
who receive treatment has risen from under 500,000 to over 7 million people.
Today, Africa accounts for 69% of HIV infected people in the world and the
number of new HIV infections have dropped by a whopping 32%.

According to that same report, AU leadership has been essential in reversing
the epidemic and it’s because of strong leadership and understanding of
international responsibility that South Africa saw a 20% increase in the
number of people receiving therapy from 2011 to 2012. Sixteen other
countries in the AU also said that they had ensured that more than 75% of
pregnant women living with HIV in their countries were receiving
antiretroviral medicine to prevent transmission to their child.

will climb as the black assfuckers keep breeding each other up
the ass.

[cloud dreamer]

No. It will climb as the christian story tellers keep convincing these
people that there is a god that will torture them in hell if they use a
friggin' condom.

Will climb anywhere that religious nuts prohibit sex education.

Has nothing to do with religious nuts or lack of education.
AIDs/HIV has been publicized for thirty years and conditions
only worsen.

Practicing homosexuals have mental problems. Africans have
cultural problems.

Sorry you are incorrect in regard to education, if you check the HIV
infection rates in Western Civilized countries you will find a vast
difference in the number of infections in the countries that have tried to
educate persons re HIV infections, they are quite low compared to countries
like the USA where the religious nutters and arch conservatives have tried
to limit the education on sex and HIV, or tried to deny the fact that
condoms help prevent HIV infections and try to force their ideas that no sex
will be the best prevention.

Yes that would work, but people want sex and so condoms are the best answer.


HIV infection rates from the CIA factbook
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate:

USA .6%
Australia .3%
Canada .3%
UK .2%
Ireland .2%
Denmark .2%
New Zealand .1%
Germany .1%
Sweden .1%
Norway .1%
