MODEL RELEASED. AIDS child. Child born to a mother with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). He has lymphadenopathy (swollen glands) on his neck,and a bloated abdomen due to hepatosplenomegaly,enlargement of the liver and spleen. AIDS is a contagious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
