Reading journals 7-In Africa, AIDS Has a Woman's Face(page166)

Summary: In Africa, Famine and Aids have been the major issue for decades. Women are the ones who ar the backbone of each family. According to study, if there is a woman in the house in Africa, they live healthier and have a better life style. However, the family becomes vulnerable after the woman has gone. Chldren of the family will be exposed to HIV more often and starvation will continues in the family. Women survival rate are higher compare to the men in Africa, they are tougher in the drought and they manage to find food for their children. In the future, organizations are trying to help the Africans to prevent HIV and AIDS and famine. It has shown a decline rate in few Africa countries such as Zambia, South Africa, Uganda that the infection of HIV is decreasing. there are still a hope.

Opinion: In my opinion, Africa is a disaster place that everyone is vulnerable to HIV and famine. The Country seems like being cursed, because reports shows that 58 percent of the woman in Africa are having HIV. Can you believe this? We can't blame the Africans too, because they have a low education level and thats explains why they are not care about HIV. To prevent HIV, United Nation has to organize a sex education on Africa so that the Africans are more aware of it. Educate them instead of having sex that are the main cause of HIV and having so many babies with HIV, they can try to improve their lifestyle. A good educated person might brings prosperity to the country and we hope Africa will be just like us in the future.
