Hello, As part of my class, I have chosen to spend time editing this article. I plan on adding more sections to the article including a history section that discuses the first cases of AIDS in Egypt, the stigma around AIDS/HIV in Arab/Muslim countries like Egypt, and the various response and treatment programs in the country. Additionally, I would want to add information about the controversy about the new programs and "cure" that the Egyptian Military announced in 2014 that they said would further advance HIV/AIDS Treatment. Overall, this article currently only has one source and thus all of its information is from that one perspective. I would like to add more sources to it and include information from different perspectives/resources. Additionally, I would like to update the information as some of it may be outdated.

Some of the sources that I plan on using in my research are:

What is the reported distribution of HIV subtypes? HIV-1 B, C, other? --Una Smith (talk) 05:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is hilarious since Egypt does better with HIV than most European countries, and more so than U.S. (where the quote comes from). Alliumnsk (talk) 12:48, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
