more people than ever are dying than from sexually transmitted diseases (homosexuals largest contributers to this statistic) in an age where protection, is offered at every corner store in the country! Now this I call IGNORANCE.
im sure they can forgive a lisp here and there with their respective peers dropping like flies. |

Just thought this might be interesting.....
The AIDS Crisis
Africa has been hit harder by the HIV/AIDS virus than any other region of the world. More than 17 million Africans have died from AIDS and another 25 million are infected with the HIV virus, approximately 1.9 million of whom are children.
Every day in Africa:
* HIV/AIDS kills 6,300 people
* 8,500 people are infected with the HIV virus
* 1,400 newborn babies are infected during childbirth or by their mothers' milk.
People with AIDS don't suffer alone—the disease attacks their families and communities as well. AIDS has stripped out an entire generation of parents, farmers, doctors, leaders. 12 million African children have already lost one or both parents to AIDS, and unless we take serious action now, there will be more than 18 million AIDS orphans by the end of the decade. Millions of children will have lost not only their parents, but their teachers, nurses and friends too. Businesses are losing their workers, governments are losing their civil servants, families are losing their breadwinners. As a result, entire communities are devastated and economies that are already crippled by poverty, debts and unfair trade policies are further compromised.
While the moral case stands alone as a reason to act, richer countries also have economic and security reasons to fight this emergency. As we've seen in the case of Afghanistan, devastated, unstable states can become breeding grounds for terrorists. Seeing Africa as our neighbor, and acting now to stop the spread of AIDS, is not just the moral thing to do—it's the practical thing.
The good news is that we know what works. Successes in a handful of countries such as Uganda and Senegal have shown that HIV rates can be brought down through effective AIDS prevention campaigns. Education, media campaigns, and community work with the most vulnerable can stop people from getting the HIV virus in the first place. AIDS drugs also have the potential to make a huge difference to the impact of the pandemic. In the past year, people living with AIDS in Africa have dared to hope that they might get access to anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) that will keep them alive to work and care for their families. These drugs work so well that they produce a ‘Lazarus’ effect—patients at death’s door can be back at work within 2 months of starting treatment. Evidence shows that Africans taking the life-saving anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) adhere to their regimens much better than Americans or Europeans—the success rate is about 90%.
Though the pace has picked up tremendously in the past year, the fact remains that only 700,000 of the 6 million people world-wide in immediate need of ARVs have access to them. This is partly because of the price—the cheapest drugs are a dollar a day, but most Africans cannot afford this. It is also because of availability. In some places, only more expensive drugs are available, plus in many communities, there is not infrastructure or trained health care workers to monitor and administer the treatment. The scarcity of treatment results in doctors and families having to make the hardest choice of all—in the community, in the family, who will live and who will die.

no offence intended (I have heaps of gay friends) just trying to make the point that taking the piss out of the lisp is minor and purely for commical reasons, as everyone who participates on this board realises.
I do retract that comment though, and in all honesty, meant no harm by it. |
