By the end of this year an astonishing 14 million African children under 15 will have lost their mothers or both parents to AIDS--90 percent of the global total of AIDS orphans. The United Nations estimates that by 2008 there will be approximately 22 million children in sub-Saharan Africa who have lost at least one parent to AIDS. These children will grow up to cause a wave of lawlessness in already devastated countries. In some countries fully half of teenagers and young adults are infected and will die of the disease. In Africa, a continent largely disconnected from the rest of the planet, AIDS is still mostly a silent epidemic. Africa Is Dying Slowly.
The facts are slowly sinking in about how terrible and widespread this plague has become. It has already killed close to one million Americans. No nation is immune. China and India, where the epidemic is just beginning, together already have more than 10 million cases. The number of people who have AIDS worldwide is around 62 million. More than 36 million are infected in Africa alone. How many have died from AIDS? Estimates put the figure at more than 32 million.
In Africa, much of the spread is due to social structures and instability. Many migrant men leave their rural homes and spend months working in mines, on construction projects or at jobs in the cities. Many visit prostitutes, of which 90 percent carry the AIDS virus. After becoming infected, the men carry the virus back to their wives and others in their home villages. Cultural factors also play a role. In some areas the superstition has spread that the best way for an HIV-infected man to be cured is to have sexual relations with a virgin.
The liberal news media has dealt with the AIDS epidemic stupidly. Prostitution, promiscuity and homosexuality are all major causes for the spread of AIDS. But the liberals think it is politically incorrect to discuss such things. In a world where sexual morals are increasingly headed into the gutter, it is difficult for the liberal news media to deal with the main culprit of the AIDS outbreak--And that is massive sexual immorality everywhere. 98 percent of all new infections in Africa are caused by promiscuity. Unfortunately, the children inherit AIDS from infected mothers.
God has warned mankind many times that He will not tolerate rampant sexual immorality forever. He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, thus making them an example to those who afterward would live like vile swine.
AIDS appears to be incurable. Enormous efforts and resources have been directed at finding a cure, and some scientists believe that a cure is coming. One wonders if a cure for AIDS would free people from their fears and actually lead to increased promiscuity. Other sexually transmissible diseases continue to multiply out of control.
The only long-term solution to the AIDS problem is better sexual morals. Today, as in the past, children suffer for the sins of their parents. Bad and sinful people can spread its suffering and heartache over several generations.
Mankind must create an environment where marriage is respected to the point that no one looks for another sexual partner, where youths are not promiscuous and commit to wait until marriage to have sexual relations. AIDS and other venereal diseases will continue to run pandemic until that happens.
