THE PEOPLE IN AFRICA TALK 
    There are many video made about Africa, especially about diseases and the lifestyle in Africa. This video has the camera man going around and asking people on the street if they've been tested for HIV and why. While many people have been tested, a lot of the people say they don't feel the need to. When asked why some of them were tested, they say because they have had unprotected sex or have slept with someone who is a carrier of the disease. Many people, even though they have slept with others, don't feel the need too because they haven't noticed any change in their body. Little do some of these people know that HIV isn't always visible.
    Many people all over Africa use the excuse of not having a hospital or the time to go tested. Some governments in Africa are taking a stand to try and help out with HIV/AIDS testing. For example, in the video it shows that the Kenyan government has gone door to door testing people and giving them help. While this can help a lot of the people living in Kenya, many of them still use excuses and are afraid to get tested.
