The AIDS problem in Africa is literally everywhere and has become an issue that cannot be ignored. Africans are affected directly and directly by the epidemic. Every homestead has been affected one way or the other.

With the death rate increasing because of the AIDS issue and related illnesses people are becoming more and more aware of the epidemic. The extent of the AIDS crisis is only now becoming clearer in many African countries. More and more people infected with AIDS are becoming ill and die. Without expanded prevention, treatment and care efforts, it is expected that the AIDS death toll in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to rise. This means that impact of the AIDS epidemic on these societies will be felt most strongly in the course of the next ten years and beyond.

Effects of the disease continue to be evident in all sectors of society including, health, education, transport, agriculture, human resource and the whole economy. Poor African societies are most hit by the AIDS crisis and its consequences.

The AIDS problem in Africa has brought about many other problems to add to the already existing ones. More and more children are becoming orphaned and vulnerable because their parents die, the children deprived of their childhood to either take care of sick parents, play parents to younger siblings, go to work in order to live and some live in the streets.

HIV is the first stage of AIDS and since most people don’t experience any symptoms during this stage. The only way to know that you are infected

when you are still experiencing the HIV stage, is to get tested at your local clinic. Anyway, if you are tested before your immune system starts to

respond to the virus, you will test negative for the disease.

The reason for this is because when your immune system starts to weaken due to the HIV virus, it begins to produce antibodies. When you are tested

for HIV, the test searches for these antibodies in your blood, when the antibodies are not present, the test will rule you negative for the virus. Other

than the fact that you are HIV positive and falsely told that you are negative for the disease, you are able to unknowingly infect others and therefore

spread the disease.

There are three main ways to become infected with HIV. These include sex with an infected partner, sharing needles with an infected person, or being

conceived and delivered from an infected mother. Over one million Americans are currently living with HIV or AIDS. However, the statistic that is

even a harder one to swallow is the fact that about a quarter of those people don’t even know that they’re infected.

The good news is that thousands of doctors and facilities are devoted to the treatment, but more importantly the prevention of the spread of HIV and

AIDS. Due to manufacturing laws in the United States, however, prices for these treatments are astronomical. The problem doesn’t lie with the

companies who are producing these medications, but with the laws that restrict them and charge them enormous fees to produce the drugs.

Therefore, they have no choice other than to sell the drug to the public at an inflated price just to turn a profit. The good news is that a small company

out of India has begun manufacturing HIV treatment medications at a low, affordable price because India is not required to pay the fees to the

pharmaceutical companies that American companies do. This company is offering you Atripla at over seventy-five percent off of the price that you

would find in America.

Atripla is an anti-HIV medication that is a cocktail of three different drugs. Many HIV treatment medications are referred to as cocktails because

most contain a combination of drugs that work together to treat the patient as efficiently as possible. Atripla contains 600 mg of Sustiva, 300 mg of

Emtriva, and 200 mg of Viread. These three drugs work together to treat the disease, although they are also offered individually for sale as

treatment.

Atripla is also used in prevention and treatment of the Hepatitis B Virus, a virus known to cause Hepatitis B. Atripla is recommended to be taken

once a day, usually at bedtime. Although currently offered by two companies in the United State, you will not find another company who offers this

crucial element in your recovery at a more affordable price. Other HIV medications for treatment also include Truvada, OraQuick and Rapid
