HIV/AIDS

Global Gallery
Contest: Every 15 seconds one young person is infected with HIV. 15 seconds. A few blinks of an eye. A leaf falling from a tree. A cloud passing above our heads. Meeting someone who will change your life. Watching a star fall and have the time to cast a dream. A world of beauty can hide within 15 seconds. Beautiful moments that we take for granted. Moments that too many are not able to live. This month, the Global Gallery aims to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS by reflecting on the smaller emotions that make everyday life grand. A life can change forever in 15 seconds. Go there now.

Understanding
Many Sub-Saharan countries, have reported a significant decrease in the life expectancy estimates for their people because of HIV/AIDS. The loss of productive workers threatens the economic stability of their country, and the stability of their families, many of whom are already living in poverty. Additional AIDS and HIV related costs, combined with the loss of the family breadwinner, can often push the families of those affected by AIDS and HIV into deeper financial crisis. Understand.
