Tradition Versus Modernity in HIV/Aids Prevention

Since the discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in 1981, the global race to halt the spread of the virus has accelerated. There are many reasons to be concerned about the spread of HIV/AIDS. If the global community does not respond to the pandemic, there will be catastrophic consequences for the human race. Healthcare systems will be overwhelmed, economies will be under severe pressure, the labour force will be depleted and the health of future generations will be endangered. When too many people are hospitalised or are compelled to take sick leave to look after their health, human and economic development will be slowed.
