Worldwide, 40 million people were estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2001. That is about 0.6% of the total world population. In other words, out of 1000 people, 6 of them are infected. That is no small number! Indeed, about 70% of those people infected live in Sub-Saharan Africa. The African countries with the largest concentrations of HIV/AIDS infection are in East and southern Africa. You know what an epidemic is. So wide-spread and devastating is HIV/AIDS in southern and eastern Africa that medical experts refer to the spread of these diseases as a pandemic!
