AIDS orphan

AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe

An AIDS orphan is a child who became an orphan because one or both parents died from AIDS.

In statistics from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the term is used for a child whose mother has died due to AIDS before the child's 15th birthday, regardless of whether the father is still alive.[1] As a result of this definition, one study estimated that 80% of all AIDS orphans still have one living parent.[2]

There are 70,000 new AIDS orphans a year (as of 2001).[3]

Because AIDS affects mainly those who are sexually active, AIDS-related deaths are often people who are their family's primary wage earners. The resulting AIDS orphans frequently depend on the state for care and financial support, particularly in Africa.[4]

The highest number of orphans due to AIDS alive in 2007 was in South Africa[4] (although the definition of AIDS orphan in South African statistics includes children up to the age of 18 who have lost either biological parent).[5] In 2005, the highest number of AIDS orphans as a percentage of all orphans was in Zimbabwe.[4]
