Some statistics to help guide our thoughts as we attempt to assist those affected by this ailment
HIV and
AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa regional overview
2013-2014
24.7 million people living with hiv
4.7% adult prevalence
1.5 million new infections
1.1 million aids-related deaths
39% adults on anti retroviral treatment (unaids reports 2014)
A
review of 45 studies across sub-Saharan Africa found that relationships between
young women and older men are common and associated with unsafe sexual behavior
and low condom use, which heightens their risk of HIV infection.5
Children
In
July 2011, UNAIDS developed a Global Plan to eliminate new HIV infections among
children by 2015 and keep their mothers alive, and identified 21
priority countries in sub-Saharan Africa.6
Since
2009, there has been a 43% decline in new HIV infections among children in the
Global Plan priority countries, from 350,000 to 200,000 in 2013. However,
declines vary greatly between countries.7
For example, in this period, new HIV infections among children in Malawi declined by 67% and by over 50% in Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. By contrast, Nigeria only achieved a 19% fall and accounted for a quarter of new HIV
infections among children in Global Plan priority countries in 2013 (51,000
cases).
