Headline
HIV/AIDS in the WHO African region
Description
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. As the infection progresses, the immune system becomes weaker, and the person becomes more susceptible to infections. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It can take 10-15 years for an HIV-infected person to develop AIDS; antiretroviral drugs can slow down the process even further. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse (anal or vaginal), transfusion of contaminated blood, sharing of contaminated needles, and between a mother and her infant during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
In Rubya District, United Republic of Tanzania, Chrisostom, 15, who learns to become a tailor, mends clothes for his ten brothers and sisters. His father, who died of AIDS, left him his treadle sewing machine.
