about 1/3 of africans have AIDS, and billions of dollars are going to africa to supply the population with drugs to allow people with HIV/AIDS to live longer...from bono to bill gates. Oprah just did a huge show on it with Bono.
A lot of African people do not believe in safe sex, won't use condoms and so the disease keeps spreading. AIDS education doesn't always help people in Africa because of they have conflicting relgious beliefs. They can be told about the HIV virus all day, but they either won't listen to biology style discussion of how HIV is transmitted or they won't believe it.
If we give 1 billion dollars to african countries to prolong the life of people with HIV, this just allows them to live longer & spread it to more people, right? At least in america, people with HIV know how to protect their partners... and even here, they don't always do it.
so what do you think of the fact bill gates and bono are giving billions to this cause? shouldn't we find a VACCINE?
