HIV/AIDS, FOOD SECURITY &
NUTRITION
Without
food or income, some family
members may migrate in search of work, increasing their chances of
contracting HIV — and bringing it back home. For others, commercial sex may be
their only option to feed and support their family.
This
places additional pressures on women, single-headed households and families
fostering orphaned children. But food insecurity can be especially acute for
the millions of AIDS orphans left without extended family. As vulnerable as
these young children are now, their future prospects as adults are even worse
without basic education and agricultural skills.
