Poor countries are really exposed to this Disease. It's not hard to figure it out you know. If they had methods of contraception it would be much better but they barely have what to eat or drink so it's a matter of " when are we going to help them". But no, let's help all the little animals let's make surgeries on them and other things but let's not care for our kind.
