MORE THAN 20 years into the HIV/AIDS pandemic and still scientists are unable to invent a safe and effective vaccine.

Oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a condition that prevents the body from fighting off infection. As a result, someone with the AIDS virus is susceptible to other viruses, bacterial infections, fungi, cancers and other diseases.


'Live and let live' Living with HIV/AIDS
THERE IS hope! HIV/ AIDS is now perceived as a chronic disease like diabetes or hypertension and although it cannot be cured it can be treated with proper treatment.


Diet, immunity and HIV/AIDS
MANY PERSONS living with HIV infection have acclaimed the importance of diet in keeping well and in delaying the progression of the disease to full-blown AIDS.


Keeping on track with HIV medication
REMARKABLE PROGRESS has been made in reducing the prices and expanding the generic options of the antiretrovirals (ARVs) used to treat HIV.


Skin disorders first signs of HIV infection
DISORDERS OF the skin are often the first sign of HIV infection. Ninety-two per cent of HIV-infected patients will develop one or more skin diseases during the course of the disease.
