HIV/AIDS is a growing problem in every region of Asia. The latest statistics compiled by UNAIDS suggest that at the end of 2007, 5 million people were living with HIV in Asia.

East Asia has been identified by UNAIDS as one of the areas of the world where ‘the most striking increases’ in the numbers of people living with HIV have occurred in recent years.

Although national HIV prevalence rates in Asia appear to be relatively low (particularly in comparison with sub-Saharan Africa), the populations of some Asian countries are so vast that these low percentages actually represent very large numbers of people living with HIV.

Our Angelwish Partners focus on addressing the medical, nutritional, and educational needs of families living with HIV/AIDS.
