We don't have whole villages full of orphans, or young girls being raped because they are known to not have HIV or AIDS. Many people in the U.S. have basic nutrition, healthcare, and friends and family to care for them when they are ill. People need that all over the world and until it is realized by elected officials, here and elsewhere, the tragedy will continue.
