What AIDS Is

AIDS is one of Africa's biggest problems. AIDS is a disease of the immune system in which a person becomes much more susceptible to illness. It is such a big problem in Africa because Africans do not have as much access to healthcare as the rest of the world. Also, it is spread very easily in poor or unsanitary communities, as a person developes AIDS/HIV through sexual contact or blood. AIDS in Africa is one of the continents greatest problems, and because of it's weak economy and government, Africa cannot solve this problem on it's own.
