Introduction of HIV and AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa HIV / AIDS is very serious in sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people suffer from it. It is now a human tragedy in many parts of the world, but the most affected are the sub-Saharan Africa. It is no accident that the country most affected by HIV / AIDS is also the poorest country. - In 2001, HIV / AIDS deaths were the most common in sub-Saharan Africa, 29.4 million people living on AIDS, 10 million young people and 3 million children. Of these, 12.2 million people are female, 10.1 million people are male. In 2002, 5 million new infections were reported

Sub-Saharan Africa is the region of the world most affected by HIV / AIDS. In 2002, an estimated 29.4 million people were infected with HIV / AIDS, and in sub-Saharan Africa about 5 million people are newly infected. In the past year, this epidemic caused about 4 million African lives. Ten million young people (15-24 years old) and approximately 3 million children under the age of 15 are infected with HIV. Estimated 11 million children in sub-Saharan Africa are orphaned by AIDS. People living with more and more HIV are now sick, so the extent of the epidemic is now revealed in many African countries. Without massive expansion of prevention, treatment, and care, the number of AIDS deaths in the African continent is expected to continue to increase before reaching a peak in the next decade. This means that the impact of the most serious epidemic diseases to these societies will be felt in the coming years.

At the conference, Professor Alan Whiteside of Natal University outlined the current epidemic of AIDS centered around sub-Saharan Africa. The epidemic in Africa is not uniform, southern Africa is the most serious epidemic that HIV infection rate continues to rise. In Uganda the prevalence is decreasing, while in other countries the fashion trends are steady or slowly rising. The size of the epidemic in southern Africa is particularly worrisome because it is the most developed region of Africa and southern Africa is expected to become a continent powerhouse for economic development.
