The number of orphans living with AIDS has grown. By the end of the last century, 13.2 million children were estimated to have lost either a mother or both parents to AIDS, with the statistics potentially increasing. 95 percent of those children live in sub-Saharan Africa. It had also been estimated that there would be 1 million AIDS orphans in South Africa by 2005 and 2.5 million by 2010. The impact of the HIV / AIDS virus has been crucially affected by the household economy. The situation deteriorates still further when the AIDS sufferer dies. Migration and urbanization have also disrupted institutions and structures that may provide a limited degree of stability in the family or the society. Treatment is frequently diverted to overburdened support facilities unprepared for addressing the case. Orphans infected with AIDS are physically , socially and mentally fragile. They 're more sensitive to abuse and prostitution situations. The latter puts them in a position where the risk to contract HIV is increased. Economically, the fact that the orphans are less likely to go to school has both a personal and a national impact, with fewer skilled people entering employment. Orphans with AIDS feel more fragile and overlooked than any other orphan group. Studies have been presented by the United Nations Children's Fund and UNAIDS indicating that orphans with AIDS face an increased risk of malnutrition, illness, abuse and sexual exploitation. Further, the stigmatization deprives them of access to human rights such as social care and adequate schooling.. An orphanage is a place where children are cared for and housed without their guardians. If a child doesn't have parents — because the parents died or lost custody — the child is considered orphan. Orphans come without guardians. An orphanage is an institution which looks after orphans. Antiretroviral therapy has helped delay the spike of AIDS-related mortality: by the end of 2005, it was reported that 18 countries had achieved the "3 by 5" target of supplying care to at least half of those in need, and the availability of antiretroviral therapy in low- and middle-income countries has risen from at the end of 2003 400,000 to about 1,3 million by the end of 2005. This review tells about the future scope of the new invention towards the field of HIV /AIDS and their medicinal treatment.
