AIDS Initiative

HIV prevention and AIDS treatment are things that Compassion International is helping solve in third world countries. The affects of the AIDS virus can be slowed down by the use of anti-retroviral medication or ART. Compassion treats those who are infected by offering anti-retroviral medications, transportation to clinics and counseling and support. We also offer assistance to children who are orphans becuase their parents died of AIDS.

HELPING TO
SOLVE A PANDEMIC

While some children are infected with the HIV virus or living with AIDS, others are affected when their parents and siblings die from AIDS. Once an immune system is compromised, the chances of fighting off infection and disease drop dramatically.

How Compassion Helps

AIDSImage1 375x155

When Godfrey was 12, he became one of sub-Saharan Africa's 12 million AIDS orphans. But the nightmare was just beginning. Just days after his mother died, he began exhibiting symptoms of HIV.

Godfrey was so devastated he tried to hang himself, but the rope snapped. Social workers at his Compassion-assisted child development center immediately intervened. Today, through the support of Compassion's AIDS program, he is on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is defying the disease.

Compassion intervenes by:

Preventing the transmission of HIV and AIDS through education
Treating those who are infected, offering ART and transportation to clinics, along with counseling and support
Rehabilitating Compassion-assisted children who have lost a parent to AIDS or who are infected with HIV
