Africa: AIDS In Africa Mostly Caused By Unprotected Sex, Study Says

Experts from the Joint U.N. Program on HIV/AIDS and the Word Health Organisation published an article in this week's edition of The Lancet medical journal rejecting the theory that the primary means of HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa is unsafe injections. Epidemiological evidence shows that the major mode of HIV transmission in the region continues to be sexual transmission. However, the organisations agreed that the risk of unsafe injections should be reduced and suggested that data be improved for the identification of such risks.
