AIDS in Africa Post
April 19, 2008
Well…apparently there are AIDS in Africa, as well as other places. Katz basically talked on the subject of AIDS in and out of Africa and the theories on how it’s spreading and how it got to Africa and other places as well. Katz introduces some aspects contributing and associated with AIDS, the Neo-Liberal Approach, A Racist Theory, Gender Diversions, a Disease of Poverty, and Trillions Rather Than Millions.
The Neo-Liberal Approach is the ideas and theories on how AIDS has spread over the past thirty years. In mostly touches and emphasizes on the “gay plague”. It also emphasizes on how AIDS is transmitted such as sex, sharing spit, sex, sharing drug/needles, oh and Sex!!! Did I mention sex? The Racist Theory on AIDS is based in the region of the Caribbean such as Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, and others. It was originally suspected that voodoo was the cause of AIDS, but then they found out that it was more likely to be associated with the “gay plague”.
The Gender Diversions in relation to AIDS is all inclusive, because it sounds as if anyone can be on that list. However at the top of that list are Africans, more especially women, and women in Europe. It is most prevalent in women in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. AIDS is also referred to as a disease of poverty mostly due to the correlation between poverty and AIDS. In layman’s terms the poorer the area the more chance of AIDS, and this is mostly attributed to desperate women who cannot get a job, ergo they sell their body. The “Trillions Rather Than Millions” section is in refference to the money made availible to help, aid, and assist those who have AIDS and those who are fighting to find a cure.
To tell the truth in an essay about AIDS I read what I pretty much expected, and that was AIDS is still around. Of course I was a little disipointed in this essay because they didn’t have the theory on how AIDS may have began with the guy having sex with a monkey. Now to me that right there is pretty f***** up, but it may be the truth.
Everybody Has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
