The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that there are now 40 million people living with HIV or AIDS worldwide. Most of them do not know they carry HIV and may be spreading the virus to others. In the U.S., approximately one million people have HIV or AIDS, and 40,000 Americans become newly infected with HIV each year. According to the CDC, it is estimated that a quarter of all people with HIV in the U.S. do not know they are carrying
the virus.

Definitely, too many people. My girlfriend is from Africa and apparently much of the military there are infected with AIDS and transmit it during their wild lifestyles. Members of government have AIDS and teachers do. Teachers have affairs and rendevous with students and pass it on. It's sick. We need to focus on them now. We have enough military and I'm sure we can get more without even having to draft. We could build a coalition with Europe to help them. I know the French and Germans poo-poo the whole Iraq situation, but what about many of the problems they caused in Africa. Where are they? The French also caused problems in Asia too... Vietnam.
