Poverty is clearly a huge problem for the planet. However, I don't think that we know yet if poverty directly causes terrorism. Few terrorists seem to be poor; on the contrary, terrorists themselves seem to be well-educated and middle class. Indeed, to quote Susan Rice, "if poverty spawns terrorism, there should be a lot more terrorism in the world." In fact, for the first time in a very long time, not only is the percentage of poor people in the total world population falling, the sheer number of poor people is actually falling, thanks to the best ever policy performance on average by developing countries. But terrorist attacks don't seem to be declining.

Is there a relation between poverty and hiv aids?

There is not a very direct relation between poverty and HIV AIDS. If the relation does exist, its mostly in third-world countries. This is because traditional beliefs and poverty of the people in these countries induces them to go to illegal brothels, and shy away from the notion of protection. Other than this, people generally want to have more children so as to have more helping hands. This increases chances of AIDS and also, pushes the family deeper into the vicious circle of perpetual poverty. Hope that helped.
