The last adult prevalence rate in Uganda is 6.5%, but the highest record it had happened in 1980s and the early part of 1990s. In fact, based on the yearly annual graphical presentation there are declining patterns that have been manifested. This is actually a good indicator that there are positive responses from the people although there are new cases that have also calculated that are added from the total cases of the confirmed HIV patients. Hence, they have made programs for mothers and women since 1990s and other Counseling and Testing Centers in order to fight the increasing ratio of HIV positive.

乌干达最近的成人患病率为6.5%，但其最高纪录产生于80年代和90年代初。事实上，根据每年的年度图文演示，列表中的走势都在不断下降。人们积极的回应说明这实际上是一个好兆头，虽然统计的HIV确诊病人总数中有新的病例加入。因此，乌干达人民为其母亲们和妇女在90年代成立了相关项目和其他咨询检测中心，目的在于对抗不断上升的阳性HIV病率。

Malawi is the country that you could find situated in Southeast part of Africa. It ranked number 9 because of the recorded 9% prevalence rate among adults from 15 to 49 years old, which actually represents one million HIV patients out of the 15.4 total population in this country. It’s very alarming because AIDS is the primary cause of the mortality rate in Malawi where an adult could live up to 52 years. Hence, the government itself has been proactive in implementing solutions and other preventive programs in order to lower down the epidemic scale of this disease. The first recorded HIV case was took place in 1985, and it’s all blamed to the 30-year ruling of President Hastings Banda who did not take the matter seriously.

马拉维是一个落于非洲东南部的国家。它排在第九位是因为在15--49岁成人中高达9%的患病率，这就意味着在一千五百四十万的总人数中，有一百万例HIV患者。情势相当严峻，因为艾滋已成为马拉维死亡率的主导因素，成年人平均只能活到52岁。于是，政府积极主动地采取措施并组建其他项目，致力减小该流行疾病的规模。1985年，首例HIV患者产生了，这一切得追究于黑斯廷斯.班达总统在30年统治中没有严肃对待这个问题。

Mozambique is another country which is part of the Southeast Africa that has 11.5 % HIV prevalence rate among adults, and its primary cause is the heterosexual contact that caused higher risk to women compared to men. In figures there are about 5.7 million of people in Mozambique who are affected of HIV. The sad thing out of 11.5%, only 8% receives continuous treatment because of the inaccessibility and situation among the people in Mozambique. The main reason for that is the lack of orientation, and most of them are not even aware that they are carrier of HIV, and have never been confirmed.

莫桑比克是非洲东南部的一个国家，其成人HIV患病率达到11.5%，主要致病原因为异性间的性传播，并且女性患病风险高于男性。数据显示莫桑比克约有五百七十万人口感染了HIV病毒。令人痛心的是，由于条件匮乏和恶劣的环境，在这11.5%的患者中，仅有8%能连续接受治疗。患病的主要原因是人们缺乏取向意识，还有大多数人因无法就诊，甚至不知道自己是HIV携带者

Namibiais found in the western border of the Atlantic Ocean which belongs to Southern Africa territory. It has been one of the health problems in Namibia since 1996 because it got the highest ratio of mortality rate compared with other health diseases in the country. Nevertheless, it has decreased as well by 2001 because of the continuous campaigns from the government.

纳米比亚位于大西洋西部边界的国家地属南非洲。自从1996年该国的艾滋病死亡率高于其他疾病后，艾滋病便成了纳米比亚的健康问题之一。然而，由于政府的不停竞选，艾滋病率到2001年已经有所下降。

Zambia is a landlocked country that you can find again in South Africa which is near Congo and other Democratic countries. Its prevalent HIV ratio is 13.5 %, placing them to number 6 spot, which is not a good indication of improvement in terms of literacy about HIV, and its causes. The only difference compared to other countries that are part of this list is that, most of the patients are found in the wealthier scale of sector. In most cases, those people who belong to C and D classes that are known to be the poorest in the community are vulnerable to activity that leads to this kind of disease. However, the wealthiest sections of the country are the ones who are vulnerable, and carrier of AIDS. The sad part women and girls contribute greatly to that rate.

赞比亚是一个你沿着南非就可以看到的内陆国家，它靠近刚果和其他民主国家。13.5%的HIV患病率使其居于第六位，这也表明人们对于HIV病毒及其造成原因的认识并未提升。对比所列国家，它唯一的区别就是大多病患来自较富裕区域。在多数情况下，处于第三、第四阶层的特困人群在日常中易感染该病。然而，这个国家易感染人群和艾滋病毒携带者却来自最富裕阶层。其中妇女和女孩不幸占多数。

Zimbabweis another landlocked country in South Africa which is near Limpopo and Zambezi rivers. It’s prevalent ratio recorded for HIV cases is 14.3%. The government officials of the country noted that there are about around 1.2 million of male or men who have not yet undergone circumcision and they are afraid that it will increase in 2015. It is one of the main focuses of the people who are behind the campaign to boost circumcision practices among males. According to research, that there are about 60% of decreased in HIV cases because of the strong implementation of circumcision. Nonetheless, there is a close to match ratio because 12% are still uncircumcised while 14% are circumcised, there is still a need to boost up the campaign.

津巴布韦也是一个南非的内陆国家，紧挨林波波河和赞比西河。它记录的HIV病例患病率为14.3%。该国的政府官员公布国内约有120万名男性未进行包皮环切手术，他们担忧该数据在2015年还会增长。倡导男性采取包皮环切手术是竞选者主要任务之一。据调查，由于采取强烈手段实施该手术，HIV病例已减少约60%。然而，由于进行手术和未进行手术的比例不相上下---分别是12%和14%，所以竞选者仍需要继续努力。

It is called South Africa since it’s situated on the southern tip in Africa. Hence, the AIDS prevalence rate in this country is 17.8, which is a bit high compared to Zimbabwe. In fact, in the recent report made in the first quarter of 2012, the government leaders of the country recognized and acknowledge the help of condom in decreasing the ratio of HIV positive cases especially the infections. In fact, it’s good news because there is a half-decreased if that would be compared against the rate recorded in 1999.

之所以称之为南非，是因为它位于非洲南端。该国的艾滋病患病率为17.8%，略高于津巴布韦。实际上，近来2012年第一季度的报告显示，南非政府领导已经意识到避孕套对减少阳性HIV病例，特别是对防止病毒感染所起的帮助。其实，比起1999年记录的数据，目前的病患率已降低了一半，这可是个好消息。

You might wonder why majority of the countries that are included on this list are all found in one continent, and that is in Africa where Lesotho belongs to as well. Its recorded prevalence rate is 23.6% although according to statistics, there is a slight improvement in figures for the last 2 years. It’s being attributed to the 5-year plan to save 20,000 lives, and it became effective. Hence, there primary contributor to that percentage is found in the age bracket of 30 to 39 years old which is about 40% wherein 26.7 % are a woman and 18 percent are men. In fact, this is the major block for economic progress of the country, but there are concrete plans and actions being carried out for the benefit of the children and the entire country.

也许你会不解为何所列国家大多在同一大洲，并且莱索托也在非洲。根据数据显示，该国记录的患病率为23.6%，在过去的两年，情况略有好转。这得归功于5年计划，该项计划致力救治2000条生命，并且取得了效果。因此，约40%比率的患者被发现主要为30--39岁的人群，其中女性为26.7%，男性为18%。其实，艾滋病已成为阻碍莱索托经济发展的主要原因，但考虑到儿童和整个国家的利益，一系列稳定的计划和措施正在执行中。

You may also this country in South Africa that has 24.8 % prevalent ratio of HIV cases, wherein a quarter of population is diagnosed of this disease. Imagine that the population ratio of Botswana is approximately 2 million alone, but the life expectancy has increased, which actually falls at 24.8% in age bracket of 15 to 49 years old. There is no significant improvement since 1985. In fact, it has increased greatly, and one of the tools that government sees is an expansion of the facilities to be available in areas that have high cases of HIV. Some of the things that the leaders of Botswana is doing in order to prevent and of course decrease the problem is public awareness program especially to the youth, and improvement of blood safety.

这个同样来自非洲的国家，HIV患病率为24.8%，也就是四分之一的人口被诊断出感染该疾病。假设博茨瓦纳人口数将近200万，人均寿命虽延长了，但15--49岁段的寿命实际上却降低了24.8%。自从1985年起，疫情就从未得到显著的改善。相反，还急剧恶化。政府能着手的方法之一就是在HIV高度感染区域扩大设备的使用范围。博茨瓦纳领导为了抵御疾病，当然也为减少疾病，所做的努力之一就是建立公共意识项目，尤其是针对年轻人的，并加强血液安全。

It is referred to as Swatini and Ngwane that is part of Southern Africa. Hence, it still holds the highest ratio of HIV of 25.9% among countries that have highest incidents and cases of AIDS. The first reported case happened in 1986, and it increases yearly. It becomes epidemic in the whole country, wherein 20 percent of which are found in men, and 31 percent are women. It has the most severe case and percentage of life expectancy that it reached about 48.7%. It has not been halted, and it continually serves as a threat to the people in Swaziland. The primary factor why it never ceases is because of ignorance found among the people, and there are about half deaths too recorded among children under 5 years old. The cultural norms also contributes to the causes despite that there is improvement found in circumcision implementation among male.

斯威士兰也就是指斯瓦蒂尼和恩格瓦尼，它也是南非的一部分。因此，它在各国间仍持有25.9%的最高艾滋病率。首例报导的病患产生于1986年，并且患者每年都在增加。艾滋病已成为全国的流行病，其中男性患病率为20%，女性为31%。斯威士兰的疫情最为严峻，人均寿命降低了48.7%。这里的疫情非但没有得到控制，还继续威胁着人们的生命。疾病持续蔓延最主要的原因在于人们对它的忽视，统计中也有近一半的死者为5岁以下的儿童。尽管男性包皮环切手术率有所提高，但该国的文化准则却绕道而行。
