The main cause for the current AIDS crisis is an imbalance of power among the global community. In particular, the wealth disparity between nations has meant that poverty-stricken regions of the globe have less access to education, medication, and prophylactics. Without access to adequate and correct information, people in poor African nations and poor Asian nations have become besieged by the epidemic. Similarly, a lack of medical resources in poor nations has exacerbated the epidemic. Lack of access to preventative measures like condoms is another reason why people in the Third World are more severely affected than people in the First World.
