Africa, in particular those Sub-Saharan areas most hard hit by AIDS, is place that I think most any American would find nearly impossible to comprehend.
Africa is going backwards. Their economy is shrinking (not just stalling), their governments are a mess, their resources are out of their control, their people are becoming less educated, the population is growing, but getting younger as life expectancy drops.
The answer to AIDS in Africa isn't just drugs, but drugs are part of the equation.
Africa is a continent without the benefits of Western society, but with all of the ills. Only a very comprehensive long-term approach will solve any of her problems for real.
