Recent reports from Asia, for example, state that there is a growing crisis and even an epidemic of Aids in that region. HIV / AIDS also affects regions of the worlds which are less capable of fighting the disease. In particular Aids has had a dramatic effect on poverty stricken third-world countries in Africa. Poverty exacerbates the disease and those who have the virus cannot fight the disease due to a depleted immune system.

The statistics from this region are shocking.

HIV / AIDS also has the potential to expand and increase and to possibly become one of the most problematic historical events of our time.
