Im doing a case study in my microbiology class. Im researching AIDS in Africa vs. AIDS in the U.S. (mainly Washington D.C. since its a huge problem there). I need to come up with questions to ask the class. Examples are How does the government treat AIDS differently in each country? Can you help me come up with more questions to ask? I need at least 5 to present to the class. Thanks so much for your help.

Compare and contrast the two regions using these questions.
1. What are the major modes of HIV transmission in each region? IDU? Heterosexual contact? Homosexual contact? Vertical transmission?
2. What proportion of the government's budget is directed towards dealing with AIDS issues? How much is being spent on public health? Treatment? Prevention?
3. What are the health beliefs regarding AIDS and HIV in each region? Do they know about HIV? Do they know about how HIV is spread? Do they know about medication?
4. What kinds of interventions are being used in each region?
5. Which groups are most severely affected by AIDS in each region? Men? Women? Children? Rich people? Poor people? Ethnic minorities?

I would say the focus in the US is too use condoms. In Africa, where guys don't use condoms, they are starting to focus on circumcision to reduce the AIDS virus by 37% and save millions of lives. Circumcision is a hot topic and westerners don't like to hear about how it might be useful in combating AIDS.

How about differences in prevention and education about AIDS! It's a world of difference between the two countires. However, since your in a microbiology, I'm not sure if you're going for more scientific things or social issues...

Africa is not a country, but a continent of many countries

How about this.........Why does the world feel that the U.S. should solve Africa's AIDS problem and neglect its own?

why, if they know they have it and that they can spread it, do they keep screwing everything in sight? I dont' get it. If you don't want to kill off everyone you know, QUIT SCREWING.
