TAILIEUCHUNG - Vulnerability to sexually transmitted disease: street children in Accra

Asthma is now the most common chronic childhood disease, occurring in approximately 54 of every 1000 children (21). From 1980 through 1996, childhood asthma increased dramatically, by approximately 5% per year (14, 16, 26). The etiology of asthma is complex and multifactorial; risk factors include genetic predisposition as well as exposure to environmental and infectious triggers.

Blaming certain groups as the source of the disease has now stopped perhaps because of theories which implicate the people who began the blaming. Many people do not seem to know the other controversy over the HIV theory of AIDS that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS in human beings. For almost as long as AIDS has been with us a small group of scientists has been trying to draw attention to inadequacies in the theory that AIDS was caused by a deadly new virus HIV. This group claims that the disease is not behaving as would be expected if the cause really was a new virus that the way the syndrome develops within individuals and the pattern of spread within society suggest its origins may be better explained by a variety of exceptionally risky circumstances in the lives of those affected Hodgkinson 1996 .
