AIDS in Egypt


            There is a crisis going on in Egypt that many Egyptians are unaware of. There are thousands of Egyptians living with AIDS and they have no clue that they have the AIDS virus (http://www.aegis.com). Many of the people in Egypt do not know how to treat people with AIDS and they do not know how to act towards AIDS patients.

In 1984 an experiment was funded to find out if the HIV virus cause AIDS. The experiment's hypothesis was proven to be right and they found out that the HIV virus does cause AIDS eventually (http://www.
