AIDS is a major killer in Asian and African countries, of course since they don't have much education or wealth, it just made AIDS more popular. AIDS has killed over millions of people in Africa and Asia. AIDS affected Asian and African countries because it affected the majority of the public's health and was a leading cause of death.The effect of AIDS on households is they lose their income earners and are forced into poverty. Many people who recieve AIDS live in poverty and cannot afford to be healthy.People in Africa and Asia arent edjucated in the prevention of AIDS, so their population is being widely affected by AIDS, one of the leading causes of death in those areas. The economic and social effects of AIDS is that parents are dying because of AIDS leaving there children behind as orphans with the possibility of having AIDS themselves. HIV/AIDS is a major public health concern and cause of death in Africa. In Asian and African countries, AIDS isn't just just a health crisis. It affected the countrie's social and economic life. People in these countries lose their jobs because of the disease, and their households are forced into poverty. Today in Southern Africa, one in nine people are infected with AIDS and it is one of the leading causes of death. People are not educated very well on the prevention and effects of AIDS in African and Asian countries, and this lack of education deeply affects the economy. Because people are afraid of getting this disease they will not hire people with AIDS, which leaves them with no money to spend and a weak economy. As the HIV prevalence of a country rises, the strain placed on its hospitals is likely to increase. In sub-Saharan Africa, people with HIV-related diseases occupy more than half of all hospital beds. AIDS being such a leading cause of death has killed a good percentage of people in Africa which will wreck the social population which is also killing the economic system too! AIDS is the world's 4 leading cause of death as of 2001, with so many people dying there are very few people to move there economy.
