HIV /AIDS is really reducing the world population more than anything else the world has recorded.

Sub-Sahara Africa bears the biggest burden of HIV. Followed by

Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Latin America

(source: WHO, CDC)

Sad to say: Tanzania has lost 7% of the population due to HIV and AIDS (source: CDC)

Zambia has lost 12% of its population due to HIV and AIDS ( source: CDC)

Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 25.8 [24.0–28.7] million people living with HIV in 2014. Also sub-Saharan Africa accounts for almost 70% of the global total of new

HIV infections (source: WHO, 2014)

The QUESTION is, why Sub- Saharan African is the most affected region?

As a public health consultant, so many things need to be considered in dealing with this disease among Africa nations.

>Every 5.8 seconds, a person is newly-infected with HIV

(source: WHO)> Every 10.5 seconds, someone

dies of AIDS (source: WHO)
