I think that it is reasonable to assume that the AIDS crisis in Zimbabwe is approximately a two-decade problem, as far as it being prevalent. That said, go back to November 2006, and an article written in The Independent. The cover actually says "Dead by 34." But continues with, "This is the fate of the women in Zimbabwe where they now have the lowest life expectancy after 26 years of Mugabe."

If a segment of Zimbabwean society lives only a third as long as they may otherwise live, if they didn't live in Zimbabwe under a socialist dictator, then AIDS cases decline exponentially on there own. Factor in the killing of male citizens, and children starving to death too. Don't forget the percentage of citizens that have fled the country. How many thousands? Less people, less HIV.

When I say exponentially, I mean that by the drastic decline in child bearing women, you have less children and as such, less Zimbabweans. That being the case, the current Zimbabwean government could continue to do nothing other than reporting a steady decline in HIV positive citizens.

This is not news, this is just someone spreading frosting on elephant dung, and passing is off as a cupcake.

A tragic crime against humanity has occurred in Zimbabwe. Where's the rest of the world at? A little more attention by the UN needs to be paid to this situation. Were it not for China a Russia, then and now, things could improve.
