Abstract

[Since acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first diagnosed over 30 years ago, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) — the virus that causes the disease — has spread rapidly around the world. An estimated 65 million people worldwide have been infected with HIV so far, and a total of nearly 30 million have died from AIDS-related illnesses (UNAIDS 2010). According to the latest Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) report on the global AIDS situation, at the end of 2010 an estimated 34 million people were living with HIV worldwide (UNAIDS 2011b). This reflects both new infections and the significant expansion of treatment — antiretroviral therapy — which is contributing to reduction in AIDS-related deaths. In 2010, there were an estimated 2.6 million new infections and about 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths globally; over 7000 persons worldwide are infected each day with HIV and nearly 5000 die daily due to AIDS. The majority of those who have been infected with HIV, as well as those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses, are in the developing regions and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in some of the poorest countries.1]
