Lack of education about the disease and preventative methods is causing the spread of AIDS. Also womens rights issues. There is a high rate of sexual assault in Africa. Concerning the actual origin of AIDS, it is said to have begun in Africa while attempting to develop the Polio vaccine, then spread to Europe, then traveled to the United States.

Your stupid, some africans have aids and It is because of the sexually transmitted HIV due to little or no use of condoms in some African countries probably encouraged by the fact that anyone who can afford them is discouraged by the fact that the catholic church prohibits it.

Short Answer:

Africa has numerous challenges related to AIDS (see below), but the top of the list is unsafe sex between consenting heterosexual couples.

Long Answer:

The transmission of AIDS occurs through sexual and nonsexual routes.

Nonsexual:

1. Blood transfusion: Prevention of AIDS through blood transfusion requires a highly vigilant monitoring of the blood supply since infection rates at 90% with contaminated blood.

2. Childbirth: Babies have a 25% chance of being born with AIDS. Prevention requires an infect mother receive intensive antiviral treatments.

3. Breastfeeding: Babies breastfed by an infected mother have about a 1 in 3 chance of getting AIDS.

4. Blood: Exchanges of blood (or rarely other body fluids) can transmit AIDS. Needle sharing by drug users is the most common form of this type of transmission, but other rare avenues of transmission exist. Sanitary methods with adequate precautions around infected individuals would make most of these transmissions preventable.

Blood transmission is too common, but not nearly as common as sexual transmission. Mothers infecting their own children prior to birth, during birth or through breast feeding occurs at a 50% rate without intervention.

The transmission to children by the mother is the third most common form of transmission globally and more common and less preventable in Africa due to missing medical infrastructure.

Sexual:

The many forms of sexual activity each have their respective risks. Worldwide, heterosexual transmission is most common. Only in the US and a few industrialized nations do safe sex practices by heterosexual couple cause heterosexual transmission rates to be lower than homosexual. In Africa, the vast majority of transmissions occur between heterosexual couples engaged in consensual sexual intercourse.

Statistics exist for all common forms of heterosexual and homosexual intercourse. Those specifics still leave the primary transmission of AIDS in Africa as a result on plain direct heterosexual coupling without appropriate safe sex measures.

Some countries, like South Africa, refused to believe that HIV was a serious problem in their country. So they did not educate their people about HIV and how to prevent it. Other countries did not have the money for education and medical assistance.

A:

Africa is crowded population and mostly heterosexuals spread the infection, not only in Africa but all over the world.

A:
  • Lack of education about the disease and preventative methods is causing the spread of AIDS.
  • Also women's rights issues.
  • There is a high rate of sexual assault in Africa.
  • Concerning the actual origin of AIDS, it is said to have begun in Africa while attempting to develop the Polio vaccine, then spread to Europe, then traveled to the United States.
A:

The main reasons are

  1. Inaccurate understanding of the disease.
  2. The high incidence of poverty
  3. Exploitation of women by men
A:

One of the most conspicuous answers as to why HIV is most prevalent in Africa is that many countries in Africa have depleted fiscal resources. This truth gives rise to conditions where there is an increased incidence of malnutrition, poor health-care, and bad education affecting the understanding of the virus itself.
