it's terrible, the main problem is lack of education, people are having unsafe sex. the education is getting better and the ammount of condoms avaliable but the african countries can't or won't afford it. and charities can only get so much. as massive proportion of people are very religious as well and don't believe in protection, some are also told 'it's a white mans way of keeping the balck populaton down'. personaly i think AIDS is going to keep the black population down more.

Lack of sex education. They do not have access to birth control. Condoms are not as readily available. Poor hygenic conditions... There is a million reasons. Sex needs to be discussed in an open manner, not hidden away like a dirty secret. People need to be educated.
3 :
It spreads because they don't have the money or knowledge to know how to protect themselves. They share needles, etc... Someone needs to go around and teach them about STDs.
