This disease is transmitted through the drugs injecting needles which are not sterilized. It is also transmitted through either sexually or from birth if the mother is HIV positive. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that over one million children over the world are affected by AIDS. The common way of HIV infection in children is vertically from the mother.
