AIDS epidemic continues to grow despite prevention gains
The United Nations reports more than 40 million people living with HIV worldwide with over 25 million deaths since 1981. Last year 3.1 million died and 4.9 million were newly infected, but several countries including Kenya and Zimbabwe show declining prevalence due to safe sex campaigns and prevention programs. Treatment rollout in the developing world now reaches about 1 million patients, helping avert roughly 300,000 deaths last year, while global HIV spending exceeds 8 billion dollars in 2006, still short of need.
