The North-South divide

The north south divide is an interesting allocation of not only the majority of the wealth in the world but also the burden of Sexually Transmitted Infections. This not only occurs on a global scale but also occurs on a national level too. This divide is basically from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere because most of the burden of sexually transmitted infections lie in sub saharan africa and south east asia. The bad part is most of the money is in the developed countries and the majority of public health funding is in these coultries. This makes sense because naturally developed countries tend to have more money than developing countries. This divide plays a big part in the problems with over coming global diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other easily transimitted viruses and infections. I believe in order to really conquer these diseases we need to bridge the gap between these two demographics and stop thinking of just ourselfs and think of humanity as a whole.
