AIDS AND RESOURCES FOR KIDS
Being diagnosed with a life-threatening or chronic illness is a traumatic experience for a child as well as for parents and siblings. Treatments to fight cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle cell, renal, blood, and immunologic diseases may contribute to psychological and physical challenges for children who fight a daily battle against disease as well as for survivors of disease and their family members.
