Article-Summary: 

The Aids virus threatens to destabilise entire nations in Africa, an international conference on the disease was warned this week. Ministers from Botswana told the 14th International Aids Conference that their country was facing "extinction" because nearly 40 per cent of adults were infected. Their warnings came as activists marched on the conference in Barcelona to demand that two million infected people in the developing world were guaranteed access to anti-Aids drugs.
