Did you know more than 300,000 children will likely die of AIDS this year, and more than 2 million will be infected? Most of the deaths will be in Africa. The most important task ahead is to stop new infections, which is much more cheaply done than treating existing ones. Now some would argue that treatment is simply too expensive, relative to prevention which is still lacking (implying that we should let tens of millions of infected poor people die and spend the money on prevention instead). Although I get this in economic terms, I know too many specific children and adults who would probably die if that were the case. I also think the money spent on overhead (doctors, clinics, developing and delivering medicine, etc.) will have many lasting benefits that need to be taken into account.

can you help me to contact some organitation as Wat Opot children’s community?

I tried to visit your website, but it was not working. I will check again later and send an email.
The terrible truth is that in the headlong rush to pay for HIV ‘treatment’ we’re not funding the things which actually would prevent transmission. And that is the terrible choice: medication which might keep someone alive for a year or two or preventatives which might stop many from being infected.
