This is a pretty loaded question.  Regardless of what you teach, people can contract HIV.  In fact, the numbers in Africa are increasing among married women, who get it from their husbands who sleep with other women.  The same is common in India, where husband truck drivers contract HIV from prostitutes while waiting at truck stops (for days at a time in some places, like on the Bangladeshi border).\n\nCondoms are the most effective way (other than not having sex at all--whether single or married) to deal with HIV.  When you teach people to practice safe sex, you're gearing them with an important safety measure they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.  Another way to fight AIDS is to try to deal with the devastating poverty that leads to the horrendous economic situations causing women to turn to prostitution, and desparation that causes the population to engage in risky behavior (as is the case in Russia, where HIV increased dramatically after the fall of communism and the collapse of the Soviet economy--widespread desperation led to a huge increase in recreational drug use--along with the unsafe practice of sharing needles).\n\nThe problem is alot more complicated than premarital sex, which, if practiced safely (condom, birth control, and STD testing), most often does not result in HIV, pregnancy, or other STDs for that matter.

An estimated 5.1 million HIV-positive people live in India, and some experts say the number of HIV cases in the country could reach 20 million within a decade.

HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa is primarily a heterosexual disease; and many factors contribute towards it : low education levels, male-oriented societies with multiple partners and wives the norm, traditional healing/witchcraft beliefs (eg belief that sleeping with a virgin cures AIDS, discouragement of condoms), poverty/malnutrition and concomitant illnesses accelerating HIV progression, slow governmental reaction and lack of political leadership and will (South Africa), lack of money for adequate anti-retrovirals (and poor compliance due to lack of education), and a blind eye turned on the problem by the rest of the world when compared to ridiculously insignificant global problems (comparatively speaking) such as bird flu etc.\n\nIt is an absolute tragedy, and has decimated many communities (and continues to do so).

United States: The CDC estimates that in 1999 between 800,000 and 900,000 people were living with HIV or AIDS. Through December 2000, a total of 774,467 cases of AIDS had been reported to the CDC.\n\nWorldwide: Based on estimates from the United Nations AIDS program (UNAIDS), approximately 60 million people have been infected with HIV since the start of the global epidemic. At the end of 2001, an estimated 40 million people were living with HIV infection or AIDS.\n\nUNAIDS estimates 5.0 million new HIV infections occurred in 2001. This represents about 14,000 new cases per day. An estimated 3.0 million adults and children died of HIV/AIDS in 2001.

The HIV virus has been a living virus in the animal kingdom since time in the beginning. Your pet cat has the virus. What happen was this - as this world over populated and people began to starve, corruption in every corner of the globe, people ate parts of the "monkey" , the brains in fact, for the first time, and that is how the virus entered mankind. Now through bi-sexuality - it spread, and you know that you can be in any part of the world in less then 4-hrs - that is how it travelled into our countries. There will never be a cure for it, as man does not have the DNA link to the animal DNA - the only cure is safe sex, and unfortunately that is not working, or sinking into the heads of our young people. 4 young people and hour, under the age of 34 - (14-34) male and female, contract the AIDS virus an hour! in North America!! we are not far behind the 3rd worlds which have millions dying and dead from this uncontrollable disease. A generation of children are now orphans with both parents dead from HIV. Pass it on and only have safe sex. Good question - Check out "Bono's" site, big web and lots of info on this subject and on feed the world.

Thousands of people are suffering from HIV/AIDS. Plus, half of the infected people are in treatment. Plus, Mandela, the president is doing something about it and the government. I need 10 points. \nI'm in a competition. LOL

In 2004 about 380 thousand African-Americans had AIDS. HIV is not reportable in all jurisdictions, so there aren't current national HIV stats. That should change soon as more jurisdictions are making HIV reportable, and there will be significant changes to HIV epidemiology methodology. Nonetheless, a large portion of HIV+ people are unaware of their infection, so it's hard to get accurate numbers.

Here is a good site for statistics. It says that the population growth has been diminished to nearly ZERO, because of AIDS related deaths. \nhttp://www.prcdc.org/summaries/aidsinafrica/aidsinafrica.html

Canada recorded its first case of AIDS in 1982. Health Canada estimates there have since been about 50,000 cases of HIV infection (up from 40,000 cases in 1996) and 20,000 cases of AIDS. \n\nTo date, over 50 million people have been infected with HIV \nAt least 18 million people have died from AIDS \nIn some countries, particularly those in Southern Africa, between 20 and 30 per cent of adults aged 15-49 are infected with HIV 16,000 people become infected with HIV every day. \nOne million babies were born infected with HIV last year \nThirteen million children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. \nIn 10 years the UN estimates that figure will rise to 40 million children.

Belle Glade (in western Palm Beach county) has the highest HIV infection rate in the country. Miami and Tampa are also in the top 5. Needless to say, be VERY careful down there.

I would say Africa has a high death rate because they are always at war and also have high numbers of people with HIV and AIDS.

China.\n\nChina has just over 20% of the world's population--1,306,724,037 2006 (2006 estimate)

(UK) In London, Kings Cross area where I worked as a police officer, I would estimate that at least 30 percent were HIV positive:  80 percent were drug addicts:  10 percent had Tuberculosis:  10 per cent had Hepatitis C:  75 percent had some form of STD other than the above.  Less than 50 percent reached their 23rd birthday.
