      Local Abstract: [PIP] Globally, the AIDS epidemic has killed 19 million people, has infected 34 million, and infects 5 million people annually. However, the epidemic shows no signs of abating. In response, international agencies are addressing and supporting efforts concerned with containing the epidemic. However, such initiatives are not enough. In the battle against the AIDS epidemic several important steps should be undertaken: sex education should be enforced and the use of condoms promoted among persons having multiple sex partners; pregnant women with HIV should be given anti-AIDS drugs to ensure healthy births; health systems should be supervised better so that drugs are properly administered and followed-up; women should be empowered and educated to refuse unprotected sexual intercourse.
