I absolutley know there is no cure, but if you tell people there is you firstly you lie to them but secondly you may encourage them to be more open about their condition - and this can be both good and bad, Good because they can get drugs and treatment yet it could be bad because the ignorance of other people may lead to sufferers being ostracised by their communities. Hopefully not.
We don't know the true figures for HIV/aids inGambia, because as in any religious community the figures will be massaged because of the social shame. So a women might die 'in child birth', from malaria, from sickness and so on. Until testing is across the population we wont have a true picture. All doubtful deaths should have a post mortem. Then gradually a more realistic picture will be made.
