The grandparents' burden

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. The World Health Organisation estimates 5 to 6 million people in Africa are infected. Generally they are aged between 20-35, and of urban and higher social status. AIDS is called the 'grandparents burden' as a disproportionate number of young children need to be cared for by surviving grandparents.

Article Abstract:
