HIV/AIDS is commonly considered an individual affliction, however Abigail Neely says that HIV/AIDS needs to be considered within the social, cultural, and economic environment of South Africa.
In South Africa, HIV/AIDS is endemic. Neely says that over 30 percent of the population is infected with HIV, however co-infection with tuberculosis is also prevalent.
"[HIV/AIDS] makes it hard for you to fight off infection meaning that you can get all sorts of illnesses" Neely says. "As a result of that, people are contracting tuberculosis in much higher numbers because their immune systems can't fight it off."

Kenya: Malaria has been identified as the number one killer disease in the country. This is according to the national economic survey released by the Government this week.
However, this contradicts another report released on Monday by the National Aids Control Council (NACC) that ranks HIV/Aids as the top killer disease.
Launching the report, NACC Acting Director John Kamigwi said HIV/Aids killed 49,126 people last year.
The Government report released by the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning Ann Waiguru on Tuesday lists Aids as the fourth biggest killer, way far after malaria, pneumonia and cancers. Last year, according to the report, it killed 11,500 people, and the report further suggests that the Government needs to relook its emphasis on HIV/Aids and cancer, as they are also identified among the leading killer diseases.
