AIDS IN AFRICA has metastasized into a disease whose progression is no
longer measured solely by the depletion of a patient's T-cells, but
increasingly by every
percentage point that is shaved from a nation's gross domestic product.
Developing countries are losing their best  and brightest workers
-farmers, shoolteachers and businessmen
More than 5,000 people with AIDS die each day in Africa,and
epidemiologists
expect that figure to climb to almost 13,000 by 2005.By then ,health
experts say , more people in su b-saharan  africa
will have died from AIDS than in both world wars combined or from the
ubonic plague that killed 20 million people in 14th -century europe.
HIV is now the single greatest threat to future economic development in
Africa
Surveys in Uganda indicate that 40 percent of  its military force has
HIV while classrooms in Malawi stay empty because a third of all school
teachers are infected.
So my Brothers  and Sisters of AFRICA  lets do somethings about it .By
any means neccesary......WASALAM
