Reasons Why AIDS prevention is applicable to Developed Countries

Many developing countries are facing health issues related to AIDS and HIV. The epidemic proportion is serious enough to consider it as a threat to global health issues. As per world news large impact on mortality rates has been countered due to AIDS. The Sub-Saharan Africa region, which is most affected with HIV with over two-third of HIV cases being reported and over 90% of new HIV infections amongst children. With the growing disease development of new drugs for cure is coming up. This has fantasized the profit among pharmaceutical companies. Global news report provides that certain live saving drugs estimated cost is above US$20000 for course of a year. For wealthier people in industrialized countries, chances from recovering from HIV are easy as they can easily afford the very expensive treatment. But, in undeveloped or developing countries treatment from HIV and AIDS suffers. Poverty has been the root cause in spreading of AIDS as treatments are not done on time and disease is passed on genetically. There is still the need of characterization in many places, of a disease such as AIDS. For many years, wealthier countries were criticized for not acting on this issue sooner. With US announcing AIDS/HIV as a potential national security threat on global news a major international concern for wealthy countries arise. While there are many criticisms created in latest world news, there are still issues within affected societies to overcome. There are various cultural issues and barriers to overcome to help spread the awareness and provide treatments and, equally important, introduce preventative measures. In some countries, there are social taboos, denial and even old patriarchal beliefs that prevent open discussions. Furthermore, as mentioned above, many of the poor nations are also affected by the IMF and World Bank structural adjustment policies, which force nations to cut back on health, education and other services—the very things that are vital here.Undertaking root causes is important because ignoring those would lead to the same problems recurring. Furthermore, there has also been continued concern over issues such as patents, pricing and so on. Yet there is no clear plan to recover debt relief for poor countries, despite the clear permission assigned in the global fund for AIDS prevention, particularly for AIDS-stricken countries. The issue of third world debt is agreed by many to be a contributing factor that makes the AIDS problem even worse. World News is helping in this cause by spreading awareness to all parts of world.
