HIV Spending For Africa, Put On Sudden Halt

As if the situation in Africa could get any worse….it just did.

According to sources, PEPFAR, an aids organization established by the Bush Administration, has of late been rejecting new patients infected with HIV.

This comes as a shock to many in Africa who had been promised Aids relief in the past, and are now being denied of it for economic reasons.

With an infection rate of 6.4% and a nation in a nation of 31 million,  the  unsteady economic climate of both the U.S. and Uganda equals the turning away of new HIV cases, but the continuation of drugs being administered to existing patients.

Ever since the Aids epidemic broke out in the late 70′s, early 80′s, Africa has been shattered by death, economic upheaval, and a loss of hope that seemed to be slowly showing signs of progress within the help of PEPFAR.

Now that efforts for new patients are being aborted from the start, one can help but fathom the the worsening of Africa as no treatment is being averted.

Economic bias or just a sign of the hard economic times of both continents….you be the judge.
