Between 1999 and 2000 more people died of AIDS in Africa than in all the wars on the continent, as mentioned by the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan.

The death toll is expected to have a severe impact on many economies in the region. In some nations, it is already being felt. Life expectancies in some nations is already decreasing rapidly, while mortality rates are increasing.

"[2000] began with 24 million Africans infected with the virus. In the absence of a medical miracle, nearly all will die before 2010. Each day, 6,000 Africans die from AIDS. Each day, an additional 11,000 are infected."

UNAIDS estimates for 2008 (which are latest figures available) there were roughly:

• 33.4 million living with HIV
• 2.7 million new infections of HIV
• 2 million deaths from AIDS
• Approximately 7 out of 10 deaths for 2008 were in Sub-Saharan Africa, a region that also has over two-thirds of adult HIV cases and over 90% of new HIV infections amongst children.

Answer 3

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).

HIV's origins have been traced to Africa, which means the continent has been dealing with HIV the longest. HIV went undetected for decades before scientists knew the causitive reason for AIDS. During this time, the virus spread wildly without detection.

Cultural traditions and society norms make it difficult to introduce practices that help prevent the spread of infection in some societies. Such is the case in Africa. Also, nations that suffer from severe social issues like hunger, disease and poverty are more greatly affected by HIV. There are several countries in Africa where social conditions are some of the worst in the world.

There are many contributing factors to the severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. One truth about the virus is that it is 100% preventable. Through prevention education HIV can be eliminated from the world.
