There is a high correlation between large infective populations and the countries overall personal income. Most African countries are impoverished. Similarly (and unfortunately) there is a high volume of people in these areas that do not practice safer sex alternatives OR do not have access to safe sex alternatives like condoms, education and services.

The main causes are poor education coupled with lack of adequate healthcare. It's no good teaching a nation about safe sex - without giving them the means to practice what they've been taught. Therefore they continue to put themselves at risk.
