Mental health challenges related to HIV-AIDS in developing countries.
J Pak Psych Soc Jan ;9(1):3-4.

The HIV-AIDS pandemic is concentrated in developing countries of the South where resources are limited and poverty, inequality, political instability and environmental threats are widespread. Furthermore, the burden due to HIV-AIDS is not limited to individual mortality, morbidity and disability, but impacts profoundly on the social, cultural and economic structures of society. Developing countries with high prevalence rates are characterized by falling life expectancy, a shrinking young adult population, declining workforce and a fast-growing population of orphaned children.
