In 2009, an estimated 33.2 million human beings were unfortunate enough to be infected with AIDS or HIV. Of these people, 22.4 million live where human history began, in sub-Saharan Africa. At the other end of the spectrum, the wealthy United States is home to 1.2 million infected people. The statistics on the number of people infected in the United States are almost negligible compared to those in Africa, due to the obvious difference in the number of people infected, but also in the strength of the disease within the limits of each spatial variation. In the growing quest for equality among all humanity, it is necessary to understand why Africans bear the statistical burden and why the number of infected people is increasing among them and is barely noticeable in America. This intelligent disease preys on human weaknesses such as stereotypes, unjustified hatred, social inequality and apathy. The toll of disease on a society is determined by the omnipresence of these human weaknesses. Illness is fatal, but mortality is exacerbated by our faults. Because there is no cure or vaccination for HIV, education and awareness are our most effective tools in the fight against HIV and for equality. In the United States, 47 percent of people infected with HIV are from the gay community, and future projections predict that these numbers will increase. . The growth of disease in this community, more than in others, highlights the underdeveloped social and economic characteristics of America today. The fundamental rule for slowing the spread of HIV is knowing who is infected and who is not. Studies show that an infected person takes precautionary measures to protect their partner. Many gay men are not even aware of HIV, putting a strain on a fragile economy. This reduces future workforce and existing workforce. Because HIV is sexually transmitted, younger people who do most of the work are more likely to develop the disease. With economies in collapse and no prospects for the future, African countries will continue to live in inhumane conditions and a perpetual gap in global equality will exist. As rich as Bill Gates is, the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation still isn't represented enough by America to do justice to this problem. Pharmaceutical companies must release their grip on medical rights to enable the production of affordable medicines. We must be interested in the future and the well-being of Africa. Americans must challenge the conventional wisdom that Africa is a continent of despair and endless turmoil and stop the spread of HIV..
