In the Spotlight for AIDS is Sub-Saharan Africa

One of Africa's most severe problems is the overwhelming presence of AIDS. In fact, an astounding 67 percent of the world's population with HIV reside in sub-Saharan Africa. This amounts to over 22 million people spread throughout the region, being the countries south of the Sahara. The 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic reported that an estimated 1.9 million people were newly infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa in the previous year. It is obvious that this is a large scale issue easily grabs the world's attention. One would hope that it receives much aid along with this.


AIDS Orphan Relief Effort

There is strong evidence for the cruelty of this disease. In some of the sub-Saharan countries, the life expectancy has fallen below 40 years but without the effect from AIDS, it would still be above 60 years. As a result, millions of children are orphaned. In a larger view, these deaths have awful effects on communities and economies.
Thankfully, the world is responding. The two largest organizations are the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and PEPFAR, which is by the United States. PEPFAR has called for 15 billion dollars from the U.S. government to go towards AIDS relief, and therefore will greatly benefit sub-Saharan Africa. The funding works to prevent 12 million new HIV infections, provide care for 12 million already infected people, including 5 million orphans, and to train at least 140,000 health care workers.
This demonstrates America's support of sub-Saharan Africa. As a region in need, it is relying on countries such as the U.S. for help.
