Article Abstract:
Statistics on AIDS/HIV have not been reliable until recently, but blood tests now show that the disease affects 15-25% of the population in countries such as Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

AIDS is called the 'grandparents burden' as a disproportionate number of young children need to be cared for by surviving grandparents.
