First off, providing medical supplies to African citizens suffering from HIV/AIDS, is this a smart of stupid thing to do. Basically, giving treatments to HIV/AIDS sufferer prolongs there life. Common sense. right? I'm sure many can agree with this. Knowing there is no cure. However, the HIV/AIDS sufferer most indefinitely, due to the medical treatments, was able to live longer and spread his/her disease to x amount of people before dying. Where as if he/she did not have the medical treatment he/she would have died a x amount of years before, nulling out the spread of infection the x amount of people. This theoretical situation could occur on multiple levels involving millions of people and I think it does. So with treatments but not cures people are able to live longer and are able to spread more of the disease opposed to not living and not spreading the disease. As much as I care about the infected, I care about the non-infected too, maybe a little more. So what do we do?
