Angola: Years of Civil War Leave Angola Primed for HIV/AIDS Epidemic

Angola's 27-year civil war has left the country in "smouldering ruin," and the "advent of peace may fan the spread" of HIV in the country, Reuters/Boston Globe reports. Some health experts believe that the war may have kept HIV/AIDS contained to small regions of the country because civilian movement was prohibited in much of the nation. However, now that the fighting has subsided, people in the country are able to travel.
