Programme 4: AIDS - 2. ČÁST

HIV/AIDS has been described as a devastating epidemic - its impact is far reaching. Richard Black It is quite simply the disease which is changing the face of many communities on earth - particularly in sub-Saharan Africa but in the future, perhaps, in Asia as well. It is having such a devastating effect on some communities that there are villages really where the entire middle sector of the population - the young adults, the economically productive people, the parents - are being removed from the population. There are villages where there is virtually no one left but old people and young people because of AIDS. And this is really unparalleled - certainly in modern experience.
