Until There's a Cure


  • Over 22 million people have died from AIDS.

  • Over 42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, and 74% of these infected people live in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • By the year 2010, five countries (Ethiopia, Nigeria, China, India, and Russia) with 40% of the world's population will add 50 to 74 million infected people to the worldwide pool of HIV disease.

  • There are 14,000 new infections every day.

  • HIV/AIDS is a "disease of young people" with half of the 5 million new infections each year occurring among people ages 15-24.

  • The UN estimates that, currently, there are 14 million AIDS orphans and that by 2010 there will be 25 million.
