HIV Infections rising

I was looking on the poverty news blog and I was reading a blog post and HIV infections are rising in Swaziland.

As HIV infections are rising as it was only 40% and it rose all the way to 42% for pregnant people. In 1992 the percentage was only 3.9%. The government spokesmen doesn’t know what to do with the problem anymore. The percentage is really high and they done everything they can do. The rate seems that it’s teenage mothers with the infection. In a country up to 40% of the adults are infected with the decease.

The government doesn’t know what to anymore because the percentage rate is higher seems to be by 2% every year which isn’t good at all.

In case you don’t know what HIV means ( I’m pretty sure everyone does) it’s an infection you get which has absolutley no cure. Your’e stuck with it your whole life. HIV attacks your immune system and it leaves you with  a chronic, progressive illness. You get cancers rom it and theres nothing you can do.
