HIV/AIDS (Youthink)
URL:  http://youthink.worldbank.org/issues/hivaids

A collection of research, knowledge, case studies and experiences on HIV/AIDS gathered by the World Bank. Just as HIV/AIDS weakens a person's immune system, a developing country's infrastructure is weakened by epidemics. Chances are its health care system is already overburdened so providing expensive treatment to a growing number of the population infected by HIV is nearly impossible. Resources for educating the public about risky behavior are equally limited. Under these circumstances, the disease can become an epidemic.
