Youth and HIV/AIDS in Africa Today December 17, 2002 — Today, Africa counts 12 million children that are AIDS orphans. As the life expectancy on the continent continues to fall, and 9,000 Africans are infected by HIV every day, these numbers are expected to swell for years to come. Such grim statistics translate themselves into millions of shattered lives among Africa’s youth, as HIV/AIDS seeps into the realm of every aspect of their daily lives. The future course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic depends on the efforts mounted today to prevent infection among young people.

AIDS Blunts Progress in Education May 7, 2002 — HIV/AIDS kills teachers faster than they can be trained, makes orphans of students, and threatens to derail efforts by highly-infected countries to get all boys and girls into primary school by 2015, a new World Bank report warns. And yet a good basic education ranks among the most effective, and cost-effective means of preventing HIV. Education offers a window of hope unlike any other for countries, communities, and families to escape the deadly grip of HIV/AIDS.
