It's about HIV and AIDS in South Africa. As you know, the statistics by World Health Organisation show that South Africa has got the highest HIV-related death rate in the world. Some of the factors that influence death rate from HIV infection is life style, public access to medical resources, leteracy, and commitment of government in combating the disease based on state economy. There are about 53 countries in Africa. Having the factors I've mentioned above in mind, what is it exactly that makes South Africans die so much of AIDS-related deseases? What is it that makes the death toll in South Africa much higher than in any other African country? Is it because other African countries afford medical accessibility more than we do in South Africa? Is it because their lifestyle is much more health-friendly than ours in South Africa? I'm confused, please help.
