AIDS in Africa |
|
In Sub-Saharan Africa, ground zero the AIDS epidemic, an estimated
22.9 million adults and children are now living with HIV/AIDS. That's
over 2/3 of the people with HIV/AIDS worldwide. Last year over one
million men, women and children died of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.
In Zimbabwe, 1.2 million people--14% of the population are infected
with HIV. Most are women and children. New infections have started to
decline and medicines are available for many, but access in rural
areas is still sporadic and deaths due to AIDS continue. Every day
brings more AIDS orphans.
