Trends of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic


The trends on the AIDS epidemic can be random or well known. In Kenya and Zimbabwe, the AIDS rate is going down. In some countries it is slowly but steadily rising to a climax, where it will then sink... we hope. In some countries, it is threatning to completely devastate the country. AIDS is a nasty, nasty disease.

The Impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa




These are some of the many impacts in africa because of AIDS. The life expectancy has gone from 62 years old to 47 years old. 11 million children have been orphaned because they're parents have died or have cast then out for having the disease. The income earners are forced to stay home to care for their ill. Can you believe that, no money? The health section has gone WAY down.

Rates of HIV


AIDS is one of the most dreadful disease you could get. In Africa, the rates of getting AIDS is even higher. The AIDS rates have peaked since 1990. Also, it has doubled over 11% (that is very high!) In some countries the rate of HIV/AIDS have declined. Those are some of the many rates of HIV/AIDS.
