What percentage of the African population has HIV AIDS


What percentage of the African population has HIV AIDS?
I'm wondering just how many people in their country have the disease, a percentage of how many of their population is what I'm looking for.

Depends in each country but if the whole continent is what we are talking, rough estimate would be around 15%.

I don't know the percentage but the website (link below) gives statistics. One of the major problems combating the spread of HIV infection in Africa is the attitude of the African male who considers it macho (even when infected with HIV, or suffering from AIDS) not to use a condom. Many Africans come to the UK specifically for NHS treatment for HIV and AIDS, they wouldn't otherwise get at home. AIDS originated in Africa and 'crossed over' from primate to human in supposedly infected bush meat.
