| dc.description.abstract | HIV and AIDS remains a significant public health problem. Globally, an estimated
34 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2011 (UNAIDS 2012).
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains the most severely affected region, accounting
for 69 % of the people living with HIV worldwide, with nearly 1 in every 20 adults
(4.9 %) infected (UNAIDS 2012). HIV incidence also remains unacceptably high:
an estimated 2.5 million people (adults and children) acquired HIV infection in
2011 (UNAIDS 2012). Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 71 % of the adults and
children newly infected in 2011 (UNAIDS 2012). Further, an estimated 1.7 million
people died from AIDS-related causes worldwide in 2011, with SSA accounting for
70 % of all the people dying from AIDS (UNAIDS 2012). | en_US |
