dc.description.abstract | An article is presented discussing the limited ability of current approaches in the Lake Victoria basin in Kenya, to stop or reduce disease transmission rates, treat those who are already affected, and resolve issues of nature conservation while dealing with poverty and food scarcity. The article starts with descriptions of the lake region's economic activities and the state of its health services. The patterns of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) observed in the population are discussed. The problems encountered in controlling AIDS and possible approaches, solutions and recommendations are discussed. The article ends with a plan of action to implement some, if not all, the recommendations. | en_US |
