      I thought south africa is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries in africa, how does this make sense?

      So if they didn’t invent treatments the entirety of Southern Africa would have had apocalyptic depopulation?

      Call me a conspiracy theorist but I suspect Apartheid whites have their hand in this. Southern Africa also has the largest percentage of Europeans descendants living there

      I have no idea how paramedics or hospital staff can even function when 1/5 of patients have HIV.

      Is there one single African pharmaceutical company that makes HIV-medicine or are they dependent on this from others as well?

      On the subject of prevalence, a lot of bad things coincided in the 90s to raise infection rates crazy high. Lack of health infrastructure, poor policies on sec education, damaging myths (some men believed you could cure AIDS by sex with a virgin).

      I lived in East Africa for a while around 2000. The numbers of AIDS orphans and people obviously dying of AIDS were awful.

      They’ve done a lot to help since then — these numbers are, in many cases, lower than I’d thought — but it was a huge, horrible problem.

      From what I’ve heard from my Congolese coworkers, the numbers are low, but so is the reporting

      The good news: HIV is generally no longer a death sentence with the right medications. The bad news: getting the meds to the people who need them (including the funding).

      It is actually worse, at least in the south. No one use protection and everyone gets drunk and cheat on a daily basis.

      Ya’ll need a public health person in this thread. This is prevalence. Ie percentage of adults living with a condition. Many of those adults were infected at birth or otherwise 10-20 years ago. Thanks to advances in treatment and PEPFAR many of those people are still living. A high prevalence rate in some ways tells success story because we kept those people alive and healthy all these years after a period of extremely high and uncontrolled transmission.

      The rates of new infections would look very different and is called incidence. Which is not to say new infections are not coming, it’s a complex situation when prevalence is high. But when on consistent treatment people who have HIV should not be able to transmit to a partner even in unprotected sexual contact.

      The context for the epidemic is different in each country but in southern African it became a generalized spread. High risk groups included men who worked as truck drivers, police, in mining—men who were on the road or away from home for work. Then their wives would be infected when they came home. In some countries young women were particularly at risk because they’d get into relationships with very unequal power dynamics with older men who would pay their school fees to stay in in secondary school or things like that. In the region it does not look as much like an epidemic in specific populations like in the US where men who have sex with men, black and Latino men and injecting drug users have been hit hardest.

      Hiv rate in tested adults* I can imagine this isn’t the full story lol. Show me the test rates

    22. ImpressiveTicket492 on

      Botswana have a better attitude to testing and detection than surrounding countries, rather that it being more prevalent is my understanding?

      Da sieht man mal wie entscheidend der Umgang mit HIV ist. In Deutschland hat sich Rita Süßmuth gegen Stigmatisierung, Vorurteile und Ausgrenzung stark gemacht.

      This is inaccurate due to underreporting and lack of reporting capacity. Watch Vice’s documentaries on Chad and Liberia, HIV is extremely common and a huge issue the countries face. The same is likely true of many of the others here. South Africa is simply wealthier and has the means to report accurately.

      i’m more questioning why equatorial guinea is darker pink despite the number being lower

    28. salma_world on

      It’s beautiful day to be from Morocco but to be honest i wish people stay healthy with protect sex

    29. MatsGry on

      I bet that more data is needed. However cases could be low in really isolated countries but without lots of data it’s all unknown

    30. Drago1214 on

      Emty hospital’s only one protocol! Midazalam injection respiratory support. 1 to 3 weeks. You die of exhaustion. It was a death sentence. While nurses made dancing videos. Wake tf up. Aids do not exist is a bacterial infection treated with poison. Even the test is cpr. Remember that?. If you are weak and sick? FAST and PRAY. why becouse your body go into survival mode and reject the poison or bacteria. Read your bible people.
