Are you saying that those in Africa either have never been told that there are ways to prevent the spread of AIDS?
Why is that? |
You probably need to go to Africa to understand the answer to this question.
Most of the people that I met in kenya don't even understand how or why to wash their hands. They have much bigger problems on their minds, like where they are going to get food for the next day from.
How do you explain AIDS to someone who doesn't understand what germs are or what they do, let alone what a virus is.
You know what a digestive system is, or what a liver is, they don't.
There are some very well educated men and women there, but they are very few and far between.
One very big problem in kenya is even the educated parents feel inadequate in teaching their kids, so they send them to a boarding type school. There the kids have a very likely chance of being molested and raped, and possably getting HIV.
This is just a sample of the problem.
