No results found.The impact of HIV on children in the region is now alarming. According to UNAIDS, an estimated 3.2 million children were infected with HIV during 2005 in Sub-Saharan Africa. During the same period, 2.4 million children died of AIDS. The increase in AIDS related deaths have increased opportunities for property stripping.
