Some facts about AIDS:

The worlds AIDS population is approx 38M + there are another 120M people that are supporting and directly affected with another 120M indirectly affected. There are estimates that this disease ties up between 500M to 600M people direct and indirectly on the planet. This is a massive number and it does not get the press it deserves. We have the power to stop this disease now with the new drugs that have been developed but the poor are not getting any chance to have a life because they are poor. It is a vicious circle.

WORLD AIDS POPULATION @ YR 2000

The articles on the left discuss the AIDS impact on fertility and the decline and life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa includes very high rates of fertility, mortality, urbanization, illiteracy, and HIV/AIDS.Countries in this region also possess sizeable natural resources and human resources. The region faces challenges in reducing fertility and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS. According to the UN Program on AIDS, sub-Saharan African has an estimated 20.8 million people with HIV, or 66% of the world total of cases for 1997. Figures are tentative because many AIDS cases go unreported. Factors in Africa that contribute to high levels of HIV include the high prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases and the low use of condoms.

HIV is concentrated in southern and eastern Africa. At least 20% of the adult population is infected with HIV in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Expected declines in infant and child mortality have not occurred due to deaths from AIDS. UN and US Census Bureau estimates indicate reversals in life expectancy due to AIDS mortality. Life expectancy at birth declined from 61 years in the late 1980s to 50 years in the late 1990s. The US Census Bureau estimates life expectancy in Botswana will decline to 33 years by 2010. By 2010, it is expected that there will be almost 40 million orphans due to AIDS deaths. This high mortality over a short time period is expected to create social and political upheaval, particularly in high prevalence countries.

The AIDS mortality is expected to affect the age structure and halt expected declines in population growth. The UN medium projections estimate a future population in 2050 of almost 1.5 billion. There is hope in countries such as Uganda, which showed a levelling off of HIV/AIDS prevalence rates among 15-19 year olds in rural areas and declining rates in urban areas.
