HIV/
AIDS Statistics
This site
contains some very sobering statistics on the prevalence of
HIV/Aids in various parts of the world. Please remember that
while Aids may be under control in the West, this is not the
case in many regions of the world, especially Sub-Saharan
Africa, and you could be dicing with death unnecessarily.
