Computers and Young People with HIV
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the uses, applications, and problems associated with HIV-infected youth and computer technology.

Considering the fact that the virus is increasingly becoming a disease of the young, such efforts must be considered to be of the utmost importance. Bibliography lists 3 sources. AIDS-pc.wps
