That is an interesting observation. I was reading something on the United Nations report. Poverty and HIV are related. AIDS is not a disease of poverty, but they become intertwined and connected because having AIDS moves one to the point where poverty will be the case. In fact, they said in this report that actually the more mobile, the more intelligent, and more educated person, those who had great access to move around and resources to facilitate that, they were the ones getting the AIDS. So the teachers comment would be right in line with that statement. That is the future of that continent.
