Throughout the world, over 40 million people have the Hiv virus. In 2003 there were 5 million new infections and 3 million deaths were caused by Aids.

Furthermore, the largest part of the people at risk do not have the necessary information to avoid the infection. This is why, in sub-Saharan Africa, Aids is a "forgotten disease". http://jcom.sissa.it/editorial/edit0301.pdf
