dc.description.abstract | The number of street children, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is estimated at
70,000 and it increases each year. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief reported a
75.1% of street boys and 81.1% of street girls report multiple sex partners in DRC, thereby
increasing their risk for transmission. Access to HIV treatment remains one of the challenges for
the street children with HIV/AIDS. A study conducted in Lubumbashi and Kipushi in the
Province of Haut Katanga, found that 78.2% of street children have no access to health care The
District of Katuba as in other local districts in the province, has seen a growing number of street
children in recent years. T | en_US |
