HIV in Swaziland

This article (which I found linked to on Google) is unbelievable.

According to the article, the average life expectancy in Swaziland will drop from 62 years to 27 years by 2010.

“Of the country’s population of a million, 500 000 are under 15 years old. Of the remaining half million, 200 000 are infected. The chance of a 15-year-old reaching the age of 35 is only 10%. Orphans, with an average age of 11, now head more than 5 500 homes.”

	you can help These are shocking statistics, and although Swaziland the most seriously affected country, it is only one of many. Stephen Lewis says "We know how to defeat this pandemic. We have all the knowledge we need. But to do it, there must be a leap in financial resources." Check out the Stephen Lewis Foundation at: http://www.stephenlewisfoundation.org/ to learn how to help. by kmh
