Not sure it will There are other countries that are not democracies where the HIV/AIDS infection rate is low. I think that condems will help more. Or perhaps just better education

I honestly don't think it will. Yet it also depends on what you mean by democracy. Democracy as a broad political theory where the people are either directly involved or are offered a free vote and representatives can be helpful but a perfect democracy does not exist its a concepts. American Democracy in specific would never work in Africa and would not fight AIDS. Transplanting a political system upon a culture where it had never existed is difficult at best and for the most part impossible. Any stable non-totalitarian government could help fight AIDS. Several important factors have been shown to decrease the numbers of people contracting AIDS in Africa these include economic initiatives that lift countries out of debt from the World Bank, in turn the governments that are there can divert more resources and attention toward education, treatment, and more widespread usage and access to condoms, all of course with some help from foreign aid. There is more but this isn't an essay. I hope this helps.
