South Africa and AIDS

Assignment

Available for over a year

Report on the epidemic and new medication for those suffering with HIV and AIDS in South Africa. HIV infection rates are high in South Africa and lack of available treatment is leading to more deaths. Making more medication available would, say medical experts, encourage more people to admit having the virus.
