AIDS• Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
is a disease that is spread through blood and other bodily fluids.
• It attacks and destroys the immune system, leaving the victim unable to fight off infections.
• Today, 34 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS, and two-thirds of those people are in sub-Saharan Africa.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
AIDS in Africa• Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the
highest HIV/AIDS infections in the world.
• About 23 million people across the continent have AIDS, and 1.5 million have died.• These deaths have created over 11
million orphans.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
No Cure• Unfortunately AIDS cannot be cured.
• Scientists haven’t been able to find a vaccine or prevent the HIV infection.
• There are drugs that can slow down the progress of the disease called antiretroviral drugs (AVTs), but they are expensive and many patients can’t afford them.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Epidemic• The first case of an HIV infection was detected
in the continent of Africa and governments were slow to respond.
• Poor healthcare systems, poverty, and lack of government organization, as well as ignorance about the disease and its causes and prevention, contribute to the number of AIDS cases.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Epidemic• The situation has gotten even worse as a
result of poverty and weak educational and public health services.
• The epidemic now places a huge burden on the healthcare systems on countries that barely have enough resources to handle basic care.
• Few African countries have the resources to treat AIDS patients.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Government Stability• AIDS has become an epidemic in Africa
because the spread of the disease was overshadowed by the lack of stability in African governments.
• A country’s government stability has a huge impact on the distribution of resources to combat AIDS.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
South Africa• In South Africa, it is estimated that 1 in 5
people may be infected with AIDS, yet few have access to the AVTs.
• AIDS took hold in South Africa just as Apartheid was ending and the country’s focus was on stabilizing the country during the early stages of the AIDS epidemic.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Zimbabwe• Zimbabwe has one of the highest rates of
HIV/AIDS in the world.
• The country also has government corruption, civil unrest, and a suspicion of outside help—which has made the situation worse.
• Zimbabwe also has a very poor economy, meaning that the expensive AVTs are impossible for most people to afford.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Nigeria• Almost 3 million people in Nigeria are currently
infected with AIDS.
• Even though Nigeria has oil, most Nigerians are relatively poor and cannot afford treatment.
• In the 1990s, Nigeria’s government began to make AIDS a priority and began to focus on prevention, treatment and care.• The nation still struggles, but the government
is trying to educate its citizens about prevention. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Botswana• Botswana has maintained a stable democratic
government since the country gained independence in 1966.• As a result, Botswana has the resources to
help treat AIDS patients.
• Botswana’s government has provided education and prevention training for its citizens.
• It was also the first country to offer the necessary drug therapy for free to infected people.© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Famine• Along with AIDS, famine is one of Africa’s
biggest problems.
• Famine occurs when a region does not have enough food for a long period of time.
• People who are starving can die from malnutrition.
• Famines are both human-made and natural. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Climate• Many African countries face drought
because of climate changes.
• Repeated drought has plagued Africa since the 1970s.
• Soil infertility and erosion have decreased the amount of crops grown.
© 2014 Brain Wrinkles
Government Stability• The stability of a country’s government directly
impacts the country’s ability to provide enough food to prevent famine.
• Civil wars interrupt daily life for most people, including farmers, which causes food shortages.
• Some governments have built armies instead of investing in food for their people.
• Other governments have used food as a weapon by denying food shipments to political enemies.

Teacher Info –
Combating AIDS App• Print off the Combating AIDS App pages for each student. (There is a
brainstorm sheet and a final copy page.)
• Students should create a new app that will slow down (or stop) the spread of the AIDS virus in Africa (Have the students think about what the African governments can start doing...)
• On the final copy, they will turn the information from their brainstorm sheet into a paragraph about the app.

Teacher Directions – Famine “Prescription”
• Have the students write a prescription that will “cure” the famine “disease”.
• They should use information that they’ve learned about government stability to write the prescription for a cure.

Famine in Africa PrescriptionDirections: You are the doctor! Write a prescription to cure the “ailments” of famine in Africa. How can you make this horrible
situation better? What would work to stop the spread of the famine “disease”?

Teacher Info – Aids & Famine Graffiti Wall
• Print off the Graffiti Wall handout for each student.
• The students will write down all the facts that they’ve learned about Aids & Famine in Africa ALL over the wall.
• Next, they will switch papers with a partner.
• They will read their partner’s wall and respond with their thoughts and feelings about the information.
• *Have the students use different colors so it looks like real graffiti!
