The definition of AIDS
Let’s define a little more technically defined as whether a person has AIDS or not. The parameters have been redefined over the years due to better awareness of the disease and new drugs available that have significantly changed the landscape.
People who develop symptoms will be diagnosed with AIDS if your situation falls within certain criteria according to the progress of infection and disease that has had or has.
The definition applies to any person who:
* is HIV positive, and also
* have a T-cell count of 200 or less (the cells that are responsible for defending our bodies. our soldiers), or have suffered from one or more of the so-called “opportunistic infections”, because they use the “opportunity” of not finding a strong defense system

Children and AIDS
The relentless spread of HIV/AIDS leaves its mark on the lives of children and threatens the stability and prosperity of nations. Millions of children have been left orphaned by AIDS and many struggle to survive. A large number of children born with the virus and suffer in the course of his short life, while millions of children fighting to grow in a world which revolves constantly the threat of HIV infection.
At the same time that rates of HIV infection are stabilized, deaths from AIDS continue to rise. In some countries, perhaps the number of orphans will not reach its peak until after 2020.
The World Food Program (WFP) helps to ensure the safety and welfare of orphans and other vulnerable children. Nutritional support to be provided to children and their parents inspires hope in people whose life has become uncertain because of the disease. These nutrients help to extend as far as possible the life of HIV-positive parents who have more time to spend with their children.
