Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the retrovirus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), currently infects over 42 million people; more than three million of them are children under the age of 15. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS calls the current AIDS epidemic: “the most devastating disease mankind has ever faced.”
