UNDP Repsonse to HIV/AIDS. UNDP, 17 Oct. 2009. PDF.**// Research shows that the worst place infected with HIV is Sub-Saharan Africa at 25,000,000 infections. 9 out of 10 of the worst infected countries are located in the Sub-Saharan region due to poverty, decrease in food supply, and the limit in delivering everyday services needed for daily survival (UNDP). This epidemic is resulting in a major increase of lives lost that has doubled over the decade, along with the the ability for governements to funtion properly to provide essential care (UNDP). With half of the world's population living in Asia, the number of infections there are quite close to Africa's. The main infections revolve around the high-risk groups, particularly men who have sex with other men, injecting drug users, and sex workers and their partners (AVERT). There are numerous places where AIDS has taken over and destroyed not only the population, but the ability to grow financial and properly.

Many young people who are infected with the HIV virus, don't know it yet and that is a major threat to society. This means that they can't do what they need to do to protect themselves and others from worsening the virus. Fact is, only 35% of young adults from the ages of 18-25, have only been tested and only about half of young adults knew about their infection overall (AmfAR). Many people don't know where to get tested at, but that's not the main problem, many unreliable clinics available produce false positive results. Therefore, this creates worrying and many more tests after that. There is one test that can directly locate the HIV antibodies in your body, but that's very expensive, eliminating poverty stricken people (AmfAR). That is why many young people are responsible when it comes to dealing or detecting the virus, increasing your chances of your partner getting the infection.

There is a minor problem slowly starting to develop referring to housing people living with the HIV infection. Personally, regarding anyone's current health, you should be given housing, especially people living with HIV because the status of the infection could become worse and develop into something worse (Story). Housing tenants actually told some of the other people living in the same housing unit about certain people that was living with HIV in that unit also. People feared that they would get the infection, so they fled away from the housing units, making the tenants lose money (Story). That in fact is why many HIV positive people are being turned away from proper housing facilities.
