How Do AIDS & Poverty Connect?

The AIDS epidemic is particularly severe in poor communities and developing nations, where education about safe sex and the spread of AIDS may be lacking, and money for expensive treatments is scarce. In this book, you'll read about AIDS' impact on people living in poverty around the world, from sub-Saharan Africa (where 7,000 people die each day due to AIDS) to China, Haiti, and the United States. Discover how people are working to combat the spread of AIDS through poor communities. Find out more about why AIDS is so devastating in developing nations and among impoverished people.
