true, but there is a HUGE amount of international pressure and funding in Africa on AIDS.. it is highly prioritized, often-times above more pressing or easily solved problems. It is a better investment to build water and medical infrastructure FIRST, then use such networks to distribute AIDS medicine to an over-all healthier population.. but the Bonos of the world pump pump pump the AIDS crisis it deafens the other issues.
