I am considering expanding this article for a class project. I am interested in finding out more statistics on the subject, and also looking at the effects of AIDS orphans on families, communities, and developing countries as a whole. Why is this article so short? What subjects are of greatest priority to be added?

The article is short because no one has expanded it yet. I hope that you will find some good sources and add whatever seems interesting to you and important to the sources. If you need help, try asking at WT:MED (a page where a lot of people interested in medicine-related articles hang out; feel free to bookmark it and join the conversations there).

Hello! I would love to possibly add more information to this article. I believe there is a lot more information from scholarly resources that should be added to this article. I would love to add more about the health effects of the children and also detail intervention methods. I also think it would be important to detail how the government plays a role in protecting these children. Please feel free to check out more information about these resources on my user page: [[1]] Sgorantla (talk) 01:04, 6 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I am considering expanding this article as part of a class project. I think that there are numerous aspects of this issue that have been documented by existing literature, and could be included on this page. For example, I am thinking of looking at the psychological, nutritional, health, educational and other impacts that the death of a parent from AIDS can have on children. There is also research on the response of governments, communities and extended families that could be included. I have included some of the sources that I looked at on my user page. Let me know what you think! Emmaaa00 (talk) 10:03, 12 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

As of 2023, roughly 14.1 million [11.2 – 17.7 million] children under the age of 18 had lost one or both parents to AIDS-related causes. Millions more have been affected by the epidemic, through a heightened risk of poverty, homelessness, school dropout, discrimination and loss of opportunities, as well as COVID-19.

The fact comes from the following source:

https://data.unicef.org/topic/hivaids/global-regional-trends/

Additional comments from user: These hardships include prolonged illness and death.
