An unidentified baby with AIDS lays in her crib, at the Cotlands Children's Hospice, in Johannesburg, South Africa. With the AIDS pandemic sweeping across Africa, thousands of medical and social service professionals gathered in the South African city of Durban, for the 13th International AIDS Conference. The week-long conference opened on July 9. Former South Africa's President Nelson Mandela called for the government to adopt a policy to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the AIDS virus, a topic that has brought South Africa under a crush of international criticism. |
