Does poverty or HIV cause AIDS Charles A Mosley
Project Goals Of the 246,000 people in Haiti who are infected with HIV 80% are living in poverty and also because Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere the country is dependent on foreign aid for, food, medicines, and such.
Description
In 2002 WHO press estimated that 29.4 million adults and children are living with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Sahara Africa.
Because HIV/AIDS is being transmitted through heterosexuals it manly affects the earners of a country. This depletes counties resources, the future taxpayers, and creates a viscous circle that keeps the country behind.
WHO press released in 1994 that the AIDS epidemic had globally increased by 60%, and the areas that produced much of this percentile was Sub-Sahara Africa.
Competitive Analysis, Cont. The characteristics of the poor are well known as well as that of their lack of working conditions which can lead to a “ culture of poverty”. Being poor stereotypically means being uneducated, generally poor health, and limited marketable skills. As a result of having bad health many contract STDS which usually leds to contracting HIV.
Technology Countries with high unemployment and the majority living in poverty most participate in “ informal sector activates”. Also because the governments resources are mainly used for testing, prevention and education are usually not able to be supplied.
Team/Resources It cost one Haitian 6,000 dollars per year to purchase antiviral medicines, this person is lucky though most of his meds come from a institution called ASON ( the association for national solidarity).
