 <title>A Question of Life or Death</title>
 <link>http://www.hrw.org/en/reports/2008/12/16/question-life-or-death-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In this 100-page report, Human Rights Watch documents how the government&#039;s HIV treatment program has failed to get lifesaving drugs to the majority of children who need them. If untreated, half of all children born with HIV will die before their second birthdays.&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.hrw.org/en/reports/2006/08/01/life-doesnt-wait</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;More than 7,200 Romanian children and youth aged 15 to 19 are living with HIV. The vast majority were infected with HIV between 1986 and 1991 as a direct result of government policies that exposed them to contaminated needles and “microtransfusions” in which small children were injected with unscreened blood in the mistaken belief that this would improve their immunological status.&lt;/p&gt;
