You are right of course that no increase is impossible but 10% is depressing and the continuation of the disease from generation to generation is something little or nothing can be done about.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984687997030721919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574211.post-30288664481068812252010-12-01T20:46:45.760+00:002010-12-01T20:46:45.760+00:00Well done. the problem with the "increase&quo...Well done. the problem with the "increase" is that each year to have no increase is all but impossible. 10% though is horrendous and that is that the problem has "one off the boil" with the media: it isn't even big news anymore. No wanting to generalise or be alarmist but I suspect 15% of <b>the whole of</b> sub-Saharan Africa is HIV positive, that is almost impossible to Span Owshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144861546996033462noreply@blogger.com
