Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how the involvement of the United States in pursuing treatments for the AIDS dilemma has brought about regulation and a system for stronger future growth. The paper describes how Africa has been a place where companies, governments and individuals used unique and often cruel means to abuse and mistreat the population. The paper concludes that by acting proactively and seeking ways to end the epidemic, the U.S. is making the world a better, stronger and safer place to live.

From the Paper:

"AIDS is on of the most ravaging diseases that Africa has known. Unlike in the United States, where a higher level of wealth and availability of treatment keep the disease largely at bay, it has been estimated that between twenty to forty fifty percent of Africans are infected with either AIDS or HIV, its precursor ("A Little Better Off"). As the world's poorest continent, Africa has little hope of getting out of this condition without outside help. In light of that, many nations have, in addition to their present humanitarian efforts, also provided help with AIDS prevention and reduction. The United States plays a large part in this effort, seeking to find ways to prevent and reduce the AIDS epidemic."
