Introduction:

In less than two decades, more than 65 million people have contracted the HIV virus globally, and of these people 22 million have died from HIV related illnesses (mostly from AIDS) 17 million of them have been from Africa. Africa remains the hardest hit continent: with less than eleven percent of the total global population, the continent has more than 70 percent of all HIV/AIDS related cases in the world. As well as a harrowing catalogue of lives lost, the implications of this human tragedy reach into the structure of economies, the capacity of institutions, the integrity of communities, and the viability of families. In the extreme, the survival of some states may even be called into question. Already, communities across large parts of the continent are facing a day-to-day reality of declining standards of living, reduced capacities for personal and social achievement, and an increasingly uncertain future. This in turn profoundly constrains what can be achieved today. Meanwhile HIV/AIDS is also diminishing the capacity of African states to maintain what has been secured over past decades in terms of social and economic development. 
&nbsp; 
HIV/AIDS has a big impact all over the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a preventable disease when people have the right knowledge and attitude. In this task you will get the basics of HIV and AIDS.

The clinic made the questions; you have to give the answers in such a way that many people (often poorly educated) can understand. An illustration says more than a thousand words.
