U.N. Says Come Together for HIV Positive Kids
by Staff
Wednesday, October 26, 2005—Ten United Nations agencies kicked off an HIV kiddie-caring campaign yesterday by text-messaging millions of African cell phone users about the new
initiative, called Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS. According to
the U.N.’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF),
1 in 20 HIV-infected kids globally gets the meds he/she needs, and 1 in
100 gets the cheap drugs that could halve deaths from secondary
infections, such as diarrhea and malaria.
