Abstract:
HIV/AIDS is threatening the development of countries with high HIV prevalence. This article analyses the impact of HIV/AIDS on the Millennium Development Goals for Health. The analysis is based on a literature survey on the impact of HIV on child health, maternal mortality, tuberculosis and malaria. We find a strong correlation between HIV and child mortality and HIV and TB. We conclude that, in order to reach the Millennium Development Goals, health strategies must include a comprehensive and coordinated approach to fight major health problems including improved resource allocation.
