9. Copyright @apurvgourav Why Should I Care? People infected with HIV/AIDS live in nearly every country in the world. In some countries, like Botswana and Swaziland, almost 40% of the population has HIV/AIDS. Epidemics have erupted in China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, several Central Asian Republics and the Baltic States.

10. Copyright @apurvgourav HIV/AIDS is not just a health problem, but also a development problem.

11. Copyright @apurvgourav How? By spreading fast mostly to young people and working-age adults, HIV/AIDS affects the economy, society, family and schooling in a country, weakening the country as a whole.

12. Copyright @apurvgourav When 8% or more of a population becomes infected with HIV, the growth of the economy slows down, according to a World Bank study. This is because the labor force gets reduced and demands on the already overwhelmed government, economic and health care systems increase.

13. Copyright @apurvgourav Poor countries are particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS because: They often don't have good resources to treat and help HIV patients.  Their health care systems are most likely already overburdened (or aren't well developed).

14. Copyright @apurvgourav This makes it nearly impossible to provide expensive treatment to a growing HIV- infected population. HIV/AIDS medication is often very expensive, not available everywhere in the world and poor countries can't afford it.  Resources for educating the public about risky behavior (which often leads to HIV infections) are equally limited.

15. Copyright @apurvgourav In Africa alone, 13 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. The number of AIDS orphans could jump to 25 million by 2010, according to the United Nations. These orphans are less likely to attend school, receive good nourishment or proper healthcare.

16. Copyright @apurvgourav FACTS…………… South Africa has most people infected with AIDS. India is second. The Caribbean has the world's highest HIV rate outside sub-Saharan Africa. Eastern Europe and Central Asia have the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemics today.

17. Copyright @apurvgourav Brazil, Thailand and Uganda are countries that had high infection rates but have been successful in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS. For example, Thailand reduced annual new HIV infections from 140,000 in 1995 to 30,000 in 2001.

20. Copyright @apurvgourav What Can We Do? Talking about HIV/AIDS can be very difficult, but it can also be a matter of life and death. We should feel comfortable talking about HIV/AIDS Many young people don't believe HIV is a threat to them, and many others don't know how to protect themselves from HIV.
