Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The physical isolation of the Botswana foragers may have reduced their exposure to the virus, while women's empowerment and common sense about sex and risk may have led to safer sexual practices. These factors may have contributed to the lower rate of AIDS in this population. Antiretroviral drugs and clinics would not explain the significantly lower rate of AIDS in this population, as these resources would likely be available to the national average population as well. The absence of homosexuality, intravenous drug use, and prostitution also cannot fully account for the lower rate of AIDS, as these factors may not be present in the foragers' population either. Good dietary practice and herbal medication may have some health benefits, but they cannot fully explain the dramatic difference in AIDS rates between the foragers and the national average.
