Does anyone know how many people in Africa are infected with the HIV/AIDS Virus?
And, has anyone figured out any way in which to slow the progress of this disease down or eliminate it from new born babies in Africa? Thank you in advance for your answers!

South Africa is currently experiencing one of the most severe AIDS epidemics in the world. By the end of 2005, there were five and a half million people living with HIV in South Africa, and almost 1,000 AIDS deaths occurring every day.1 how terrible is that...but you can help just visit http://www.avert.org/help-avert.htm

According to the World Health Organization 34.3 million people in the world have the AIDS virus 24.5 million of them in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly 19 million have died from AIDS, 3.8 million of them children under the age 15. 5.4 million new AIDS cases in 1999, 4 million of them in Africa. 2.8 million died of AIDS IN 1999, 2.4 million of them in Africa. 13.2 million children orphaned by AIDS, 12.1 million of them in sub-Saharan Africa. Reduced life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa from 59yrs to 45yrs between 2005 and 2010, and in Zimbabwe from 61yrs to 33yrs. More than 500,000 babies infected in 1999 by their mothers most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. I think it's gonna hard to eliminate HIV / AIDS in such country like Africa where education is not one of their priority. Even in higher educate country like US, HIV / AIDS can't be eliminate that simple. If we suggest an African to use condom, they'll threw it right away, except if we can pursue their chief.
