    Why do so many Africans have AIDS?

    What did Bush say, 30 million people? I went bug eyed at that. eek: ...but forgot about it later during the rallying call to arms.

    I guess we're going to go "bonk some heads"

    Anyway, is all of Africa so afflicted? Would most of the money go to the rich arabs? No, I'd guess not as they wouldn't need a hand out because there's so many oil rich nations there.

    So this money would be basicly earmarked for sub saharan africa. But why? Why is there such a vast problem there in particular? Is it because aids came from a cave in africa or something like that? Monkey bites? No that's just ebola, right?

    So why so much aids in africa and not in say, Bangla Desh? or China or the Philippines?

    Thirty million!

    Culture is part of the answer. In many parts of Africa it's considered "unmanly" to use a condom.

      Because it started there. Also what Caligastia said.
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        After the obligatory note: US has far more AIDS HIV infected people than the EU,
        the short answer is because Africa is in the pitts.

        Another disgusting practice is the having sex with child virgins that many Africans engage in so as to be sure there s no AIDS threat.


        The situation could be much mroe aleviated if condom use was widespread. (supplies of condomes..."marketing" )

        and also if pharmaceutacls would not be so tight assed when it came to make profits from selling anti AIDS drugs in Africa...

          It's more than 30 million. AIDS is so prevalent in Africa that the population is falling.

            Spot on. The opening of the Kinshasa Highway across Africa brought it out of the jungle.

              China, India, and Russia are also being affected by AIDS.

              We Russians are always looking for a good time, not matter what the cost....

                Allegendly Aids derives from a certain species of monkies.
                A theory which requires a rather disgusting intercourse having taken place to have the virus passed on to the human species.


                That's why I prefer the "escaped from the lab" approach. It offers ease of mind.

                    This has already been done, with very little success.

                      paiktis, why does the US have more AIDS victims than the EU?

                      Caligastia, I don't recall seeing rubbers for sale in the Phils. I doubt people in Bangla Desh, China, or India can afford them...yet we're not bailing them out...

                      che, it started there...that makes sense. However it does not bode well for the rest of the poor nations of the world if Africa is the pattern. "It started there" would indicate to me that once aids has as much time in other places the result will be the same disaster...yes? If the population is truly falling! Well I'm just amazed.

                            Lancer, I dont know why.
                            Something to do with knowing and implementing the best defence one has against the disease: wearing a condom

                              So no matter what, Africans are not to be blamed.
