Is there a way we can invade AIDS?
Seriously though, they said on a BBC news show a while back that there's a myth in Africa that virgins can cure AIDS. Supposedly guys with AIDS raping virgins, then them having kids is one of the main reasons AIDS is rising so quickly there.
AIDS is an epidemic and all, but I think as a disease it gets 20 times more funding and publicity than heart disease, cancer or other terminal illnesses. We should advise Africans on how to prevent things through educational programs, not throw billions of dollars at them. I'm pretty sure there are non-profit organizations out there that would gladly attempt to tackle the problem rather than us using our tax dollars for other counties.
