Description

HIV/AIDS

AIDS is a uniquely devastating disease, because of the way in which young adults especially are affected. Ten Years or more has been stripped from life expectancy in the worst-affected countries. Very soon, some of these countries will have many more surviving adults in their sixties and seventies than in their forties or fifties. In this edition of World Chronicle, Dr. Peter Piot, Executive Director of UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, talks about this terrible disease that has already killed 22 million people worldwide.
