developed countries please can you help hiv/aids moving coarpse in botswana to get arv in time?
Botswana is not able to give HIV/AIDS patients ARV treatments when the patient's cd4 level is not below 200, but 99% of the patients are really surferring and most are dying before they get the help from the government because the government is saying it doesn't have enough money to buy the ARV and help anyone living with HIV/AIDS. Please am appealling to the developed countries to help. Botswana is a small populated country of which the way people are dying from HIV/AIDS in 10 years to come Botswana will need 30 minutes to count its remaining lucky people around the country. Please please help we are surffering, we are dying

You can't get HIV/AIDS unless you exchange bodily fluids. If you touch infected blood and you have a cut on your finger, you may have been exposed. Get tested.

Um, are you trying to get people to send you money or something? Botswana is being helped by many, many countries and the government spends a large portion of their annual budget on HIV/AIDS treatment. "Most funding for HIV/AIDS programmes in Botswana is supplied by the national government, which spent around $150 million in 2005 (six per cent of the national budget).12 The most significant initiatives supported by foreign donors are the African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnerships (ACHAP) and the BOTUSA project. ACHAP is a collaboration between the Government of Botswana, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Merck Company Foundation. ACHAP was established in July 2000 and is dedicated to supporting Botswana's HIV/AIDS response through 2009. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Merck Company Foundation have each committed $50 million towards the project, and Merck is also donating two antiretroviral drugs. As of June 2005, ACHAP's total programme spending was just over $41 million.13 In 1995 the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Botswana Government began a collaboration called BOTUSA, to work on public health research and programmes to combat TB as well as HIV/AIDS. BOTUSA has grown substantially since 2000, and is now part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).14 PEPFAR contributed $55 million to HIV/AIDS programmes in Botswana in Fiscal Year 2006 alone.15 With help from these and other partners - including the Global Fund, the Harvard School of Public Health, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, and numerous faith-based and community-based organisations - Botswana is mounting one of Africa's most comprehensive programmes of HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care.

Don't use IV drugs. Be responsible for your own behavior. If you have access to the internet, you know how to get the information to prevent getting it.
