Abstract

South Africa is home to the largest number of people infected with HIV and living with AIDS (UNAIDS, 2008). Children, in particular, represent one of the most vulnerable groups exposed to the harsh consequences of HIV and AIDS. In 2007 alone, 270,000 children died from AIDS (UNICEF, 2010), and at the same time, 280,000 children were living with HIV (UNICEF, 2009).
