AIDS in Africa
The AIDS epidemic is rampant in sub-Saharan Africa due to lack of education about thedisease in the poor, underdeveloped region. “Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 70% of the people who became infected with HIV this year.”(WHO). Most people in sub-Saharan Africa worry more about their next meal than they do about safe-sex. Poor, uneducated women, adolescents, children, and male workers who travel frequently are at greater risks than anyone else in the region. Health care pales in comparison to the rest of the world as it lacks the personal quality care that many core and semi-periphery regions offer and the advanced medicinal drugs. Despite the explosion of this immune system debilitator in Africa that is affecting the general health and morale of the public, it is debatable yet as to its affects on the economy. The common theme in the regions hardest-hit countries, lack of protected, safe sex, and education about safe sex is apparent. Studies show that 14 percent of women aged 15-19 in sub-Saharan Africa are having children. This percentage is staggering when compared to the 6 percent in other less developed countries and 3 percent in industrialized nations.(UNAIDS Fact
