 AIDS,
Orphans, Poverty One
of the most devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is
the breakup of families, the creation of millions of orphans
and the disintegration of social cohesion. By the end of 2000,
over 12.1 million African children had lost either their mother
or both parents to AIDS. This figure is set to double over the
next two decade

 Could
this be the missing link that could explain the rapid spread
of HIV/AIDS in Africa when compared to other parts of
the world? A comment on the article "The spread of HIV/AIDS
in Africa through Unsafe Medical Care"
|
|
 Many
studies show 20%-40% of HIV infections in African adults associated
with injections (though direction of causation is unknown).
These and other findings that challenge the conventional hypothesis
point to the possibility that HIV transmission through unsafe
medical care may be an important factor in Africa's HIV epidemic.
