The 16th International AIDS conference is underway in Toronto and this article talks about the big picture and how the disease spreads from a world-wide perspective.
AIDS researchers : single strategy won’t work - Yahoo! News:
Basically, there are different causes for different areas and one of the major causes is the increase in heroin production in Afghanistan in central Asia, eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union! There the disease is predominate among drug users particularly heroin. I find it interesting that the US invades Afghanistan and then the heroin production dramatically increases?!
The basic idea is to understand what human actions or ideas may contribute to the spread of the disease. In different areas and cultures, there will almost certainly be different issues that need to be addressed in fighting the disease. We can have drugs to control the disease, but preventing its spread must involve an understanding of the local culture and issues that must be addressed with education.
