AIDS time-bomb just waiting to explode Tom, here's another article from South Africa. africanews.org AIDS is a silent epidemic and the average time from being infected with HIV to developing symptoms is eight years. People were not seen to be sick. It is only now, five years later, that AIDS is being given the priority it needs as the epidemic starts to make itself felt. People are getting sick and dying and communities are losing their most productive members. The silent phase of the epidemic is over in many parts of South Africa, especially KwaZulu Natal where almost 27% of pregnant women are HIV-positive. A generation of orphans is being created, babies are being born HIV- positive. AIDS is expected to have a huge impact on business as productivity drops, sick leave increases and the number of insurance claims rises. In the Western Cape, the epidemic is still in its early stage. In the latest research 6,1% of pregnant women were infected. "But nowhere near that number of people are sick," said Dr Wood. "It is a time-bomb waiting to go off."
