DRC AIDS affects a large percentage of the population, without about 1.1 million people in the country affected by this disease, at a rate of 4.2%.
100,000 people have died from the disease, and with poor healthcare facilities, political problems and warfare, as well as a lack of treatment options and other factors such as war rapes these figures are on the increase.
DRC HIV & AIDS
DRC HIV & AIDS is a major health threat and one of the leading causes of death in the country alongside malaria, malnutrition and violence.
