TL;DRAbstract

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the disease it causes – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a major cause of death, particularly in African countries. The massive losses to the disease threaten to cripple economies and topple governments (Mullan, 2007). The disease has undermined the development gains of recent decades and many countries may not achieve further development goals unless this epidemic is controlled and its effects mitigated (World Bank, 2002).
