Inference beyond reasonable doubt, leads us to conclude that infected Western tourists are culprits in the spread of the AIDS dilemma. These tourists abuse the poor natives with the exchange of sex, for a token of their higher valued currencies. I guess it is too late in the day. However, West Africa should take heed and ban child prostitution, both internal and international. That will be a step in the right direction.
Poverty alleviation is the key to the puzzle.
In order to seriously deal with the AIDS epidemic in Africa, a simultaneous attack against poverty will be necessary. Unless African leaders and the world community attack the issue of endemic and entrenched poverty, not much will be achieved on the AIDS front. Ezekiel Pajibo, Liberian refugee resident in USA Africa needs to educate its population about AIDS but it needs the resources to do so. However, so much of this potentially great continent is under the tyranny of corrupt and cruel regimes that are only interested in stealing from the people they supposedly serve. Increased literacy is the most effective weapon against disease as information can then be supplied to large numbers of people relatively cheaply.
