In this blog we are dealing with a hot subject – HIV and AIDS in AFRICA,. Since HIV is originated in AFRICA this subject has great relevance. Africa holds more HIV Patients than all other countries. 

In this blog we mainly cover following subjects related to countries

1. HIV and AIDS in South Africa- Several facts about HIV and AIDS in South Africa. Very Important informational manual. Lot of useful statistics are detailed here. Complete details in the post HIV in South Africa. 

2. HIV and AIDS in Nigeria – HIV almost originated here. So Nigeria has rich pedigree in HIV. We are dealing more details about HIV in Nigeria here. HIV in Nigeria  post will details things.

3. HIV and AIDS in Zambia. Zambian population is almost on the verge of an explosion from HIV that will eat up the working class of the population in next 10 years. Here are facts. See the post dedicated to HIV IN Zambia. 

Before to that Let me give you some important statistics and details.

HIV IN AFRICA-   Africa is without doubt the region most affected by the virus. Inhabited by just over 12% of the world’s population, Africa is estimated to have more than 60% of the AIDS-infected population. In the 35 African nations with the highest prevalence, average life expectancy is 48.3 years—6.5 years less than it would be without the disease. For the eleven countries in Africa with prevalence rates above 13%, life expectancy is 47.7 years—11.0 years less than would be expected without HIV/AIDS.

HIV will kill Africa soon before to that we must act and kill HIV before it can kill us. Or else Africa will be a great valley of death. 

AIDS IN AFRICA- In next 20 years Africa will have more than 100 millions AIDS Patients and will be huge lose will come to countries in Africa in terms of losing the working class. Patients who start HIV treatment generally have to continue taking medications for the rest of their lives. In areas where drug therapy is expensive, some people must interrupt their treatment when they were unable to afford medication. Drug-resistant strains of HIV have been observed in such areas. This will start to make things worse soon HIV will become AIDS and patient will die there after. 

HIV AIDS IN AFRICA-  HIV becomes AIDS. The HIV AIDS in Africa is a menace now and soon that will be a great problem. In next 20 years greater part of Africa will die due to this deadly disease.

In Southern Africa, several factors contribute to the spread of the HIV virus. For one, a stigma is attached to admitting to HIV infection and to using condoms. For another, many deny that the HIV virus causes AIDS: Thabo Mbeki and Robert Mugabe have both suggested AIDS stems from poverty rather than HIV infection. And finally, many myths are attached to the use of condoms, such as the ideas that a conspiracy wants to limit the growth of the African population and that condoms stifle the traditional power of the man in his community. Result was very drastic. 

And AIDS is going to kill more people than both  world wars together could do. It indicates the danger of HIV infection and its subsequent AIDS stage. Unless we do not do something fast HIV will engulf whole Africa. 

HIV CENTERS IN AFRICA- There are many HIV centers in African countries total will come to 10000 plus. Some are mobile once which can reach deep in African villages. There are several clinics especially for HIV patients which are attached to these centers for testing and treating HIV. There will Approximately 18 Million AIDS Orphans in Africa by 2010. All they need treatment so minimum we have to set up 10000 more centers in Africa

 Others- Let me finish this Blog with a cry for humanity. Do something urgent in Africa to prevent HIV or else you will see millions of deaths in next years.

AIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA- More than 30% of the HIV population is heading towards AIDS and later to death. From 2015 on words South Africa will have to face lot of shortage of workers. AIDS is griping hard on South Africa. 

Here is other statistics. 

12340000: Estimated number of people living with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2007

24.8%:Estimated percentage of adults (ages 15-49) living with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2007

68%: Estimated percentage of HIV cases that occured among women (ages 15-49) by the end of 2007

940,000: Estimated number of children (ages 0-14) living with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2007

68,200,000:Estimated number of children who have lost their mother or father or both parents to AIDS and who were alive and under the age of 17 (2007)

HIV AIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA- The National HIV Survey is a “household” survey. This involves sampling a proportional cross-section of society, including a large number of people from each geographical, racial and other social group. The researchers take great pains to try to make the sample as representative as possible, and the findings are later adjusted to correct for likely over- or under-representation of individual groups (according to census data).  Based on this survey, the researchers estimate that 16.8% of all South Africans over 2 years old were living with HIV in 2007. Among those between 15 and 49 years old, the estimated HIV prevalence was 19.2% in 2007. HIV AIDS are griping South Africa so tight that no way can escape. 

HIV CENTERS IN SOUTH AFRICA-  There are many HIV centers in SA. But most of them are located in  cities never connected to Rural area. More than 12000 clinics in South Africa which are doing nice but number of HIV is exploding like anything to kill this advancement in facilities. 

The government has recently, after much delay, devoted substantial resources to fighting the epidemic. In 2000, President  publicly questioned the importance of HIV in causing AIDS, controversially suggesting that the main cause was “poverty” In 2001 the government appointed a panel of scientists, including a number of AIDS denialists (who question the mainstream view on HIV), to report back on the issue.

Hope that one day South Africa will come out of this problem and will back to normal life she had for long time.





HIV IN NIGERIA

 HIV IN NIGERIA – DETAILS – The  poorest African Country Nigeria is under heavy threat of HIV. This post will give you more details about this. Just go through .

HOW TO CURE HIV IN 100DAYS THROUGH HOLISTIC TREATMENT.  details- visit http://www.helpcure.com/hiv 

HIV IN NIGERIA-   Nigeria is a worst effected country by HIV in Africa. By 2010, Nigeria will have 10 to 15 million HIV cases. Nigeria and Ethiopia will be among the hardest hit countries, with the social and economic impact similar to that in the hardest hit countries in southern and central Africa, a United States National Intelligence Council study argues.  

Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa with an estimated population of over 140 million people. Government reports claim that over 300,000 Nigerians die yearly of complications arising from AIDS. Over 1.5 million children are said to be orphaned annually. Official figures put the steady rise in HIV prevalence rate from 1.8% in 1988 to 5.8% in 2001, 5.0% in 2003 and 4.4% in 2005 and 5% in 2007. 

AIDS IN NIGERIA- Millions of HIV are becoming AIDS in everyday and in Nigeria also the same. Once they become AIDS they will start to move to death. The latest surveillance report from the National AIDS Control Program shows that 20% of the current AIDS cases are civil servants, 18% are housewives and businessmen, 11% are farmers, and 8% are students. Thus the government sector will be strongly affected after these employees begin to die. AIDS is spreading faster in Nigeria due to lack of treatment properly. In Nigeria  An HIV will be and AIDS patient with in 5 years while else where it is 7 to 10 years- in Africa-

HIV AIDS IN NIGERIA-  The ratio of HIV : AIDS =10:1 in 2000 Now that is 5:1. Showing the treatment is failing and HIV s are becoming AIDS Soon. HIV also is increasing day by day , number of cases are being reported more and more day by day. Still HIV is not over taking this ration purely due to the conversion rate of HIV to AIDS in Nigeria is so high. The average life span of a commoner is now lower to lowest lever. It is 44 Years in Nigeria heavily due to the impact of AIDS. Lack of sincerity, poor funds administration, unclear motives and lax attitude of government officials, as well as key NGO personnel have made situation very worse. 

HIV CENTERS IN NIGERIA-  There are 7000 active HIV Centers in Nigeria. But most of them are dying due to lack of funds. There are 3000 full blown HIV clinics functioning in cities and villages of this poor country still HIV is eating most of the population.
