HIV/AIDS has killed more than twenty million people worldwide in the past twenty five years, and AIDS is the leading cause of death in Africa and the fourth most prominent cause of death worldwide. More precisely, women are increasingly infected by HIV/AIDS, representing 57% of the persons infected, and thirteen million children are orphaned by HIV/AIDS. In an effort to fight this outbreak, organizations of people are mobilizing to bring an efficient response to the consequences of the infection, and to slow down and reverse the spread of the disease.
