1993? That’s 20 years ago!
Hi anonymous. Yes, that report is from 20 years ago! The line of evidence goes back even further. Doctors and scientists studying HIV in Africa have found unexplained HIV in children in sub-Saharan Africa since 1985. And new cases are identified all the time. But no one has traced to find the source of such infections, which is a key to stopping the risks and thereby protecting other children. Governments responded appropriately in Russia in 1988 (finding 265 kids infected through 13 hospitals), in Romania in 1989-91 (finding more than 1,000 kids with HIV from health care), in Libya from 1998 (more than 400 kids), and in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. But why hasn’t any government in sub-Saharan Africa investigated such cases? People who are paid to ensure that healthcare is safe and others who are paid as HIV experts to find and stop risks in Africa have seen the problem for a long, long time. But rather than do what is required to stop the problem, they turn away.
