USafricare embarks on a global HIV initiative targeting the endangered sub-Sahara region of Africa
USafricare is embarking on an ambitious and broad public campaign strategy to educate and help to reduce the pandemic spread of HIV in sub-Sahara region of Africa, including, Nigeria, Niger and Cameroun 
Washington DC, April 1, 2008 --Most recent center for disease control (CDC) data show that approximately 10% of the world's population live in sub-Saharan Africa, but the region accounts for approximately 64% of the world population living with HIV. South Africa and Nigeria currently account for the largest HIV population in Africa, where it is a pandemic. USAID reports also show that there are approximately 12.0 million AIDS orphans living in sub-Saharan Africa out of the 15 millions AIDS orphans worldwide and several more children are projected to become orphaned by th AIDS pandemic in Africa. This dangerous trend calls for serious counter measures to impede it.
USafricare is currently embarking on a collaborative effort with government bodies in these regions to help bring awareness and encourage safer sexual behavior amongst the youth, while working to make information and testing more available and accessible to individuals.
This project will be a new blueprint on the fight against AIDS and will effectively reduce the spread of the HIV virus by 50% within its first year of implementation.
"2 of every 10 adults are HIV positive in Lagos and we can not afford to sit tight and let this pandemic destroy the fabric of our society" said Ugochukwu Collins (PhD), chair of USafricare.
Acording to Madu Choice, president of USafricare "the implementation of this initiative will effectively combat the retrogressive trend of HIV in sub-Sahara Africa and will propagate a proactive stance in the global fight against HIV/AIDS".
This initiative will educate communities and form alliances with government bodies in the regions to increase HIV awareness and support the inclusion of HIV education in school curriculums.
