Though the information on HIV/AIDS from Afghanistan is scant, the vulnerability factors indicate the possibility of fast spread of the epidemic if preventive efforts are not taken immediately. The extremely low socio-political and economic status of women, huge numbers of people displaced internally and externally, the extremely poor social and public health infrastructure, drug trafficking, use of injecting drugs and lack of blood safety practices have been identified as factors that could fuel the epidemic.

At the rustic refugee camps on the no man's land that straddles the mine-ridden border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan, groups of Afghan children, many of them dirty and barefoot, can be seen stirring up the dust with energetic games of football.

The fact that the children have taken to the game with incredible gusto is no surprise. Football is a universal favourite. What is unusual is that this is the first time many of the children are playing organised football - even kite flying was banned when the Taliban took control of Northern Afghanistan.
