HIV/AIDS is an epidemic which affects millions of people all around the world. Over 33 million people worldwide are currently living with HIV/AIDS, with thousands of children across the globe becoming infected every day. Despite the ever-growing increase in the number of people living with the virus, knowledge and public awareness is declining - even in developed countries.
Education is fundamental in the fight against HIV/AIDS prejudice and the prevention of transmission. Medikidz explain HIV is designed to educate young people and take away their fear of the unknown. Written by doctors, this dynamic graphic novel also provides an accurate resource for adults to broach sensitive and difficult medical issues without 'sugar coating' serious topics. The Medikidz Foundation, our affiliated charity, is working in conjunction with The Global Fund and NERCHA to distribute Medikidz explain HIV in schools and villages across Swaziland.
