 AIDS in Sudan (Re: almaskoon)
|
Dear Maskoon
Thanks for bringing up this issue.
Unfortunately in Sudan the government and some twisted minds talk about a virtous society that was chosen by God and as such they do not suffer from the decadence of the West!
There is a big problem in Sudan and it is hidden because of many factors such:
1. The incubation period of the HIV virus
2. The lack of expertise among the majority of the health field workers when they exist- and they do not in many areas.
3. The lack of the facilities for mass screening
4. The stigma associated with testing for AIDS (which is a problem in the West especially when it comes to dealing with insurance companies)
5. The believe that AIDS only contracted through sexual acts
6. etc.
It is unfortunate that too much unprotected sekx (spelling changed to pass the sensor) goes on in Sudan today and the risks are multiplying. There are many young girls in Sudan who followed the norms of remaining virgin until they get married but are being infected by either ignorant or arrogant youth who did not care –or could not afford- to take precautions in their previous private lives.
The government behaviour towards the means of protection –although of limited certainty- is criminal to say the least. This regime failed in creating the conditions where people can have two moderate meals a day and in fact they impoverished them. The level of premarital sexual activity in Sudan today is becoming for many more of a necessity rather than an ethics issue.
Unfortunately the current policy is one of denial and as such many innocent people are being exposed to unnecessary risks in hospitals, clinics and health centres.
Sudanese need to wake up and cast asie all the taboos and take appropriate actions to reduce the risks and to ensure that those infected are educated to understand the risks they pose if they become irresponsible and also to make sure how they can live decent life with HIV. The stigma could causes too many problems in the near future and no one should be complacent as the risk of exponential growth in confirmed cases is real.
And we must not forget neither Sharia nor the flogging stopped people drinking or having sekx in Sudan. Living on dreams and illusions is just irresponsible behaviour and criminality when practiced by a government.
In order to avoid the fate of the central Africa belt let us stop treating people as criminals and deal with the reality. Who among you can guarantee that they will never need a blood transfusion in Sudan or undergo a surgical procedure in Sudan? If your answer is NO then act now to protect your ownself.
Regards
