That sounds silly, but can you help?


Ok, I looked in the net for almost an hour from now, I am very tired and I have to find information for AIDS in Albanian. I am very tired, sleepy, Wikipedia doesn't have information in Albanian for AIDS and I need that for tomorrow. I am albanian, that is why it has to be in Albanian but I don't know anyplace to find it. Please, I am begging you to answer only if you know the answer because if I find some silly answers that make jokes and things like that I would kick my computer and fake sick for tomorrow (hey that was a good one) please please please please (copy paste 100 times that) OH I AM DYING!!!! I AM SO GONNA FAKE SICK TOMORROW!!!!! unless if you know the answer ;;) I am so dead! :((

Geeze, you sound a little tense. But, knowing I should be doing something else at the moment instead of helping you, I did some researching anyway.

You might want to check out these links:

and there is a huge PDF document written up by Beatrice du Prey, M.A., International Human Rights Worker for AIDS Calgary Awareness Association right here:

Hope these help :D

I found these after a google search:

the link that led me to the sites above SAID that the language would be Albanian. All I can tell you for sure is that it is certainly not English! :)

Seems the incidence and prevalence of AIDS and HIV are very low in Albania.

"106 cases of HIV infection, 37 AIDS cases 23 AIDS deaths have been reported in Albania by mid-2003. The predominant mode of transmission has been sexual, and more than
80% have been contracted abroad.

Vulnerable groups: it is estimated that there are about 10,000 drug users in Albania, for most of whom the drug of choice is heroin. There is a real scarcity of information regarding
injecting drug use and culture of needle exchange. A survey conducted in 3 Albanian cities (Tirana, Shkodra, and Vlora) provided some information on health consequences of
drug use. None of more than 400 drug users tested in Tirana results HIV positive, whereas about 40% were HBsAg positive and only 3% HCV positive. Little information was
available for the other two towns. The data also suggest that there is a tendency toward an increase of injecting drug use, and more than two third of injectors share
needles/syringes.

It is estimated that thousands of Albanian women and girls have been working as prostitutes outside the country (i.e., in Western Europe or other Balkan countries) over the past
10 years. Most of them are young (i.e., 20 to 24 years old) and lack sexual education. Although there are no official data on prevalence of HIV or other STI, around 80% of women
interviewed in Vlora reported having had an STI.

In the last 10 years, mobility of the Albanian population dramatically increased. According to estimations made by INSTAT (the National Statistical Institute of Albania), the number
of migrants reached approximately 600,000 people, about 18% of the population. Most of them are men in the group 20-30 years of age. Almost 90% of young people interviewed
in Korca had 2 to 5 sexual partners during the last year, and more than 40% had sex with sex workers; of them 82% not always used condom. Anecdotal data about a higher
prevalence of HIV or STI in this population group needs to be confirmed."
