Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and its fatal partner Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) currently infect an estimated 33 million people. But the impact of HIV and AIDS does not stop with the lives of these individuals – it affects their children, grand-parents, friends and nations as the lives of these people disappear day by day.
