Jaquan Horne · Answer 1

A drop in the number and productivity of workers.

Explanation:

The spread of AIDS affects the economy of many African countries negatively. If the infection rate is high in a country, it means that a significant number of people, young and adults who are in working age, are either patients or carry the virus. This decreases the number of people economically active, increases public spending in healthcare, and it lowers productivity and has an impact on growth.
