It's increasing worldwide. HIV infection is rising in every region of the world and most worryingly in countries like Uganda and Thailand, which had been heralded as success stories in the fight against AIDS, the United Nations said on November 21.

I don't know the stats, but I'd put my money on it. As long as people insist on living the "if it feels good, do it" morality, AIDS will continue to be a threat. I had a family member who died of AIDS, and believe you me, that taught me more than I EVER wanted to know about the disease. It's a horrible, painful way to die and I truly wish people would wake up and take the threat seriously. Until a cure is found - it is FATAL. It's not something you can just ignore and it will go away.
