HIV/Aids ,[object Object],[object Object],Can it be cured? Unfortunately there is no cure for Aids, however it can be treated. Antiretroviral therapy can be used to prolong the time between the HIV infection and Aids. This can sometimes mean that people with the HIV infection can live for the rest of their life without developing Aids. Antiretrovial therapy can also help add length to the lives of those diagnosed with Aids and lessen the pain, but it cannot stop it. Sometimes treating the infections can be done easily with tablets etc., yet other times medical equipment is needed and this is where those living in LEDC’s suffer most.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Campaigns Campaign groups in Africa are running Aids awareness campaigns through out Africa to try to develop the understanding of contraception and HIV. Groups such as LOVELIFE have been using media aimed at teens to get their message across, unfortunately the problem of these campaigns is that not enough people have access to things such as televisions, and therefore the message is still not getting through. Development HIV/Aids shows the large difference in the development of countries and unfortunately can worsen the levels of development in the countries it largely affects. Those countries that have high Aids and HIV are generally LEDC’s that are not developed enough to widely treat it where as in MEDC’s, although it is still a widely caught virus treatment is well known about and available to those that need it. Therefore Aids does not harshly affect the MEDC’s rate of development yet it can have a harmful effect on LEDC’s development due to the large deaths and how widely and easily it is transmitted in those countries.
