UNICEF-supported community health centres battle HIV and AIDS in DR Congo

LUBUMBASHI, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 29 December 2010 – Here in DR Congo, where most children and adolescents lack access to education, there is little awareness about prevention of HIV and AIDS. In general, people go to the hospital only if they feel sick, and so HIV infection may go undetected until it has reached an advanced stage requiring intensive care.
