According to the UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/ AIDS), "AIDS is now the leading killer in sub-Saharan Africa, where 23.3 million people have HIV or AIDS; 90% of the world's 11 million AIDS orphans are in Africa; in 1998, 200,000 African died from war - but 2.2 million died from HIV/AIDS." These figures are harshly alarming and call for immediate attention and action. The United States currently spends more than $800m a year fighting HIV infection, the annual figure in Africa - where at least two thirds of the world's HIV infected people live - the figure is only $160m. These figures don't just add up when it comes to proportionality. Addressing the massive inequalities in money available to tackle the disease is a must.

Fewer than 200,000 in every 20 million men know they have the disease. When you

Unsanitary vaccination campaigns by the French in central Africa in the early 1900s might have allowed HIV to take root. Jim Moore, an anthropologist at the University of California at San Diego, "points to evidence that one clinic used just six needles to immunize more than 89,000 people against sleeping sickness in 1916." The French colonial government that ruled west equatorial Africa then enacted a brutal policy of using forced labor for large construction projects. Congo-Ocean railway built between 1921 and 1934 in an area then called the French Congo. 0ver 20,000 people died working on the of malnutrition. They people who survived were lacking food and going to desperate measures to get food.

The French in more ways then one should be held partially responsible for the growing epidemic. Since when do you use six needles to immunize 89,000 people. They were trying to be cheap and it consequences have been highly costly. The Tuskegee Experiment of the 1930's, when black individuals were wrongly given the disease Syphilis, later in1972 became liable for their wrongdoing. The government made a $9 million settlement to the Tuskegee survivors and the descendants of those who had died.

Bruce Fetter, a social historian of colonial Africa at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, said "If they were underfed, they might have gone off and trapped animals in the forest because they were hungry." The connection we are trying to make is the railroad's location near the earliest known case of HIV. The location is just across the river Congo from the city of Kinshasa, where the 1959 HIV-positive plasma sample was taken. Moore also concludes, "It probably would have been the first time people were trying to capture chimps alive. And you're a lot more likely to get bitten by a live one."

Sub-Saharan African needs to sue the French for their wrongs in a court of law. It would be impossible for the French to give settlements to everyone caught in the epidemic but they can give money to provide needed resources, b
