Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative

Hey everyone,

HIV/AIDS has become a pandemic. However, the problem has hit the Sub-African continent the hardest. Depending on the source, world-wide estimates put the amount of HIV positive at 33.2 million to 42 million people. In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are nearly 25 million who have HIV or AIDS. While in developed countries the outlook is promising, life expectancy is considering lower for those in Sub-Saharan Africa with HIV or AIDS. The HIV/AIDS Initiative branch of the Clinton Foundation focuses on supporting governments to deliver services to underserved populations such as children and rural populations, increasing countries' human resource capacity to deliver care and treatment, and preventing the transmission of the disease from mothers to their children. Africa is where the problem is the worst, but this branch also helps other countries in South America, Asia, and Europe. Together, we can prevent the spread of this disease and eventually wipe it out.
