S. Africa to Treat All HIV-Positive Babies
This article is about South Africa that has extreme AIDS problems. Especially, South Africa is trying all their best to treat all HIV-Positive Babies and expand testing to all citizens. President Jacob Zuma, South Africa president’s announced on World AIDS Day that their country was viewed as a turning point for the nation. The administration made drugs so the AIDS patients are safe and healthy. It resulted 300,000 young-age deaths. Long decades, President Zuma is still struggling in confronting the AIDS virus. He said there are only two choices for the nation to live: Submit or Fight. If Africa doesn’t stand up and fight for the AIDS virus, this will be going on and on in Africa. Africa is the country that mostly needs attention and the United States is also doing their best on helping. In the next two years, the United States is giving South Africa over $120million for AIDS treatment drugs.
This is good because this will treat and help it stop expanding. This will help people so people can get the chance to get cured and have a normal life. South Africa’s babies have the chance now to have a normal life like the other kids. This will help the South African population increase. This might reduce the amount of people in the world with HIV. There is no Bias.
