Here is an overview of the HIV/AIDS world-wide epidemic for 2001.
“Sub-Saharan Africa is by far the worst affected region in the world. The estimated 3.4 million new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa in 2001 mean that 28.1 million Africans now live with the virus. It is estimated that 2.3 million Africans died of AIDS in 2001.”
That’s 6,300 people that die everyday in Africa alone. Now what do you think is worse… the Taliban or AIDS? Osama or HIV? It’s a loaded and unanswerable question, I know. Still worth a thought or two.
