Ethiopia faces
alarming growth in its HIV/AIDS epidemic, with an
estimated 1,000 people infected each day and
absenteeism increasing as the sick and dying miss
work, a government official said Thursday. Teklu
Belay of the government’s HIV/AIDS Prevention and
Control Office said the disease was spreading
quickly in the impoverished country, already one of
the worst hit in the world by the epidemic.
