HIV more common among the poor

In my opinion, HIV/Aids is closely related to poverty. Poverty is more rooted in rural areas than in urban areas.

Unemployed and impoverished as rural patients are, how can they afford a balanced diet or healthy food?

Antiretroviral therapy is necessary for suppressing the HI virus so the body can revitalise itself. But ARVs alone can’t do the trick.

HIV patients need to eat healthily and lead healthy lifestyles. Rural sufferers die quickly due to abject poverty. Amos Tebeila, Mohlaletse Village
