AIDS in Women.

AIDS in Women: Due to the fervent efforts of health educators, young people today have a very intimate knowledge of HIV and AIDS.

As the epidemic continues to spread, women need to realize that they can stop the spread of the disease and protect themselves from infection and a number of related complications. It is the responsibility of health educators to present this to young women and inform them of the powerful choices that they can make.
