HIV AIDS

In response to a comment by an Anon regarding the extent of the HIV AIDS epidemics in the world and whether the resulting death rate is large enogh to negate the growth in world population I have looked up the following data for the year 2005:

Total number of people living with HIA AIDS 40.2 Million

Total estimated deaths from HIV AIDS 3.1 Million

Total number of people living with HIV AIDS
in sub-saharan Africa 26.0 Million people


Total deaths from HIV AIDS since 1961 12.0 Million


Note the very high concentration of HIV AIDS in sub- saharan Africa.
