Top 10 countries by the number of AIDS patients

According to the report announced at the Fifth International Conference on HIV, held in March 2016 in Moscow, the following ranking of 10 countries by the number of people infected with AIDS was compiled. The incidence of AIDS in these countries is so high that it has the status of an epidemic.

AIDS - acquired immune deficiency syndrome against the background of HIV infection. It is the last stage of the disease of an HIV-infected person, accompanied by the development of infection, tumor manifestations, general weakness and ultimately leads to death. 5qcr5pth

10th place. Zambia

xkugxdwx1.2 million patients with a population of 14 million. Therefore, it is not surprising that the average life expectancy there is 38 years.

9th place. Russia

m2v23uf4In 2016, the number of people infected with AIDS in Russia exceeded 1 million people according to Russian healthcare, 1.4 million according to the EECAAC-2016 report. Moreover, the number of infected in the past few years has been actively growing. For example: every 50th inhabitant of Yekaterinburg is HIV-positive.

In Russia, more than half of patients became infected through a needle during drug injection. This route of infection is not the main one for any country in the world. Why are such statistics in Russia? Many say that this was due to the refusal to use oral methadone as a substitute for injecting drugs.

zhhjkd3qMany people mistakenly believe that the problem of drug addicts' infection is only their problem, it is not so scary if the "scum of society" acquire diseases that lead to fatal outcomes. The drug user is not a monster that can be easily identified in a crowd. He leads a completely normal life for a long time. Therefore, spouses and children of drug addicts are often infected. It is possible that infection occurs in clinics, beauty salons after poor disinfection of instruments.

Until the society realizes the real threat, until casual partners stop assessing the presence of STDs "by eye", until the government changes its attitude towards drug addicts, we will rapidly rise in this rating.

8th place. Kenya

gybe5ctn6.7% of the population of this former British colony is HIV-positive, namely 1.4 million people. Moreover, among women, the infection is higher, since the social level of the female population in Kenya is low. Perhaps, rather free morals of Kenyans also play a role - here they easily approach sex.

7th place. Tanzania

hl2ax21tOf the 49 million population of this African country, just over 5% (1.5 million) are sick with AIDS. There are areas in which the infection rate exceeds 10%: this is far from the tourist routes of Njobe and the capital of Tanzania - Dar es Salaam.

6th place. Uganda

swvr00gsThe government of this country is making tremendous efforts to combat the HIV problem. For example, if in 2011 28 thousand children were born with HIV, then in 2015 - 3.4 thousand. Also, the number of new infections in the adult population has decreased by 50%. 24-year-old King Toro (one of the regions of Uganda) took control of the epidemic into his own hands and promised to stop the epidemic by 2030. There are 1.5 million cases in this country.

5th place. Mozambique

k5ghqjzjMore than 10% of the population (1.5 million people) are infected with HIV, and the country does not have its own forces to fight the disease. About 0.6 million children in this country are orphans due to the death of their parents from AIDS.

4th place.Zimbabwe

zfpgyyna1.6 million infected per 13 million inhabitants. These figures were driven by widespread prostitution, a lack of basic knowledge of contraception and general poverty.

3rd place. India

mbdsvuloOfficial figures are about 2 million patients, unofficial ones are much higher. Traditional Indian society is rather closed, many are silent about health problems. There is practically no educational work with young people, and it is unethical to talk about condoms in schools. Hence the almost complete illiteracy in matters of contraception, which distinguishes this country from African countries, where it is not a problem to get condoms. According to polls, 60% of Indian women have never heard of AIDS.

2nd place. Nigeria

3nhnlkgv3.4 million HIV patients per 146 million population, less than 5% of the population. The number of infected women is higher than that of men. Since there is no free medicine in the country, the worst situation is in the poor.

1 place. South Africa

ekqbvehoCountry with the highest incidence of AIDS. Approximately 15% of the population is infected with the virus (6.3 million). About a quarter of high school girls already have HIV. Life expectancy is 45 years. Imagine a country where few people have grandparents. Fearfully? Although South Africa is recognized as the most economically developed country in Africa, most of the population lives below the poverty line. The government is doing a lot to curb the spread of AIDS, free condoms and testing are provided. However, the poor are convinced that AIDS is a whites invention, just like condoms, and therefore both should be avoided.

Bordering South Africa, Swaziland is a country with a population of 1.2 million, half of whom are HIV positive. The average Swazi resident does not even live to be 37 years old.

  1. Interestingly, did anyone take the trouble to just check the mathematics of all this opus? 980,000 people out of 146,000,000 is 0.67%, i.e. less than 1%. Nothing good about that. In the US, 0.37%. But it is a SHAME in this given to the hysterics, who lie, putting Russia in 9th place and attributing to it 5% of the infected from the population, and the cattle, poorly at school, which for a fucking years did not master the calculation of fractions.

    • 5% taking into account the likely depopulation of the country. Every year there are fewer Russians, and the number of HIV infected is growing ..

  2. But on TV in Russia, everything is fine. Even 1% of the population is awful. Every village has a sick person. The program of Russia's enemies is going well. Russia is being destroyed. There is no propaganda for a healthy lifestyle. Drugs are sold on every corner. Trunk and deception is rampant. Ordinary people are deceived at every step. There is no one to complain. The police are corrupted. These are facts. But God and Russia are with us. Fear enemies of Russia, we are waking up.

  3. Unofficial estimates of AIDS in Russia show that at least 5 percent of Russians are infected. Everyone is just silent. And of course, if Rashka has the status of a hotbed, then they will count with it as with an undeveloped country (and it really is). So like this
