Here is some good info and other links:\nhttp://aids.about.com/cs/womensresources/a/pregnancy.htm\n\nWhoever is handling your HIV treatment--they can talk to you about who you need to see for your pregnancy.  It has to be an OB/GYN that has experience in high-risk pregnancies.

c'est loin de ne concerner que les equipes africaines. En général le plus favorisé est celui qui joue chez lui (l'Allemagne en l'occurence) . Les grosses équipes sont souvent favorisées sur les petites.

Early childhood care crucial to eliminating gender inequality, UNICEF warns\n  \n13 November 2006 – The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) today called on governments and others committed to universal education and gender equality to remember that the earliest years are the most critical for children’s development.\n\nIf many of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are to be reached, the cycle of negative gender stereotypes must be broken earlier in a child’s life rather than later, the agency warned, referring to the ambitious targets for slashing a host of social ills such as extreme poverty, hunger, maternal and infant mortality, and a lack of equal access to education, all by 2015. \n\n“Gender equality must be addressed right from the beginning of life,” UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Rima Salah told the closing session of the UN Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI) partnership meeting in Cairo. “Huge steps can be made to empower girls if we begin the movement for gender equality in those first years of a child’s life.”\n\nAlthough universal primary education for all boys and girls is one of eight MDGs, the majority of the estimated 115 million children not attending school around the world are girls, a startling statistic that will have negative repercussions on an entire generation.\n\nGirls who are kept out of schools are not only denied their own right to education, but if they later become mothers, they are more likely to raise children who remain uneducated, unvaccinated and more likely to contract HIV/AIDS, UNICEF told the meeting, which brought together other UN agencies, donor governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).\n\nThe universal primary education goal is closely linked to that of promoting gender equality, empowerment of women and global development. The theme of the UNGEI meeting – Gender and Early Childhood Care and Education – placed particular emphasis on supporting families and gender-focused policies and scaling up of quality early childhood care programmes. \n\nQuality programmes focus on well-trained teachers, well-informed parents, and child-centred community care. By covering issues ranging from pre-school and parenting techniques to school nutrition and breastfeeding advice, they particularly benefit children who need them the most: girls living in poverty.\n\nGirl children may be required to care for younger siblings, a responsibility that prevents them from getting an education of their own. Early childhood care programmes are key in closing this discrimination gap. When younger siblings are in pre-school programmes, their older sisters are free to pursue their own studies. And by setting children out early on the road to learning, early childhood education can be instrumental in breaking the cycle of poverty and preparing children for success in school.

It really depends on who you are looking to help.\n\nThe children need clothing and school supplies.  Many NGO's (non-profits) are set up to keep kids in school and off the streets.  \n\nFamiles need food, clothing, etc, which can be donated again to the NGO's.\n\nCambodia also had very poor medical facilities and practice. Dentists are set up on the street and hospitals are almost non-existant.  The sick and unhealthy really need help with medical supplies, doctor and medical assistance, and many need shots to keep them health for the future.

Here's all I've found so far. I'll keep looking.  This article mentions only "Arabic and African" text.\n\nhttp://www.safrica.info/what_happening/news/features/timbuktumanuscripts.htm\n\nHere's an e-mail address. Good luck. I spent the whole morning reading about this.  What an extraordinary legacy.\ninfo@timbuktufoundation.org <info@timbuktufoundation.org>

If your talking broadly, Africa is the #1 leading country with AIDS/HIV. As far as locally, anywhere. That's the scary thing about today. Any one could look squeaky clean on the outside and be infested on the inside. That's why protection, manogamy, and abstinence are so highly suggested.

the previous answer contains a racist assumption that Africans are ignorant and shows terribe attitude of some people we must live with.\n\nOf course you can study a HIV/AIDS councelling course in every African country, I'd however suggest going to South Africa where if you work with a charitable organisation (not a state organisation) they have very advanced practices to treat HIV/AIDS.  If you can contribute your own time to practical AIDS councelling work and contribute some money to the organisation I believe they will welcome you as money and human resources are needed to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Zimbabwe is in a economic/political crisis currently, so that's why it's out of question for you to be there.   Also Botswana or Zambia are good places for your pursuits, but in South Africa the situation of councelling is in the most serious turmoil.

If proper neonatal care applied upon delivery, your child will almost have a good health.\n\nPre-term birth has a serious impact on child if not properly cared e.g.: Respiratory distress syndrom, and cerebral hemorrhage.

South Africa: The ANC government barred South Africa's foremost Aids lobby group, the TAC (Treatment action campaign) from participating in a major international United Nations Aids forum.\n\nThe government keeps punting their "cultural" aids cure of Africa potatoes, garlic and olive oil in a country with one of the highest Aids infection rates while at the same time censoring organizations who dispute their policies and want the population to receive real medicine.\n\nThis bothers me because if you think that you are going to cure Aids with potatoes and garlic you should not be the minister of health of a country like South Africa.

South Africa seems to be doing OK.\n\nIf a nation isn't in turmoil it's not going to make the news, so you have to be pretty knowledgeable in geography and politics to know which of the 160 nations or so are not in the news and are predominantly black.

Peanut509 is correct that mother and baby do not share the same blood supply in utero, but the maternal blood supply IS still connected to the fetal blood supply via the umbilical cord and placenta. It is possible for HIV to pass from the mother to the baby through the placenta, thereby infecting the baby. But the chances of HIV transmission are far greater during a vaginal birth and through breastfeeding.\n\nIf an HIV positve mother received treatment prior to becoming pregnant and received treatment during her pregnancy to reduce the maternal viral load and also during labor and delivery, then the risk of transmission can be reduced. Electing to have a cesearean will also reduce the risk of the baby being infected, so that the baby is not exposed to HIV infected blood or vaginal/cervical secretions. But the baby would also have to receive antiretroviral treatment for several weeks after birth. Bottle-feeding the baby instead of breastfeeding is yet another way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.\n\nWhile there are certain measures and precautions that can be taken to reduce the chances of HIV transmission to the baby, these measures are by no means 100% effective in preventing the baby from being infected. It would be best if you both consulted a doctor before trying to conceive, so that you know what kind of options and treatments are available. Best of luck to you both!

there should be less and it keeps getting worst... don't they learn at school to f... use a condom and protect themselves??.. not only because of pregnancy but mostly because of aids and all that... there's so many small children that end up coming to this world infected because their mommy and daddy didn't take the time to protect each other... that pisses the hell out of me... \nparents should take responsability too... teach and talk to ur kids about it.. this can be provented!!
