Book excerpt: AIDS and TB, “the deadly two” are public health concerns that have devastated the global village, with Africa being grossly affected and accounting for more than 70% of the human tragedy. There is no cure for AIDS - there is a cure for TB. Despite this very basic fact, millions of people do not have the knowledge to prevent HIV infections that causes AIDS. In the same vein, more than two million people die every year due to TB alone and half a million due to TB combined with AIDS. This book is about TB, HIV infections and AIDS education (AIDucation). It is about empowering communities to prevent TB and HIV infections. It is about caring for those living with TB, HIV and AIDS. This book is about taking control of TB, which can lead to preventing new TB and HIV infections. This is a true African story.
