Abstract

In 2007, approximately 33 million people were estimated to be living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 worldwide. An estimated 2.5 million became newly infected with HIV-1 that year, while an estimated 2.1 million died of AIDS. This means that everyday almost 6,850 people are newly infected with HIV-1, and over 5,750 die from AIDS, mostly because of inadequate access to HIV-1 prevention and treatment services. In the 27 years since the first cases of AIDS were described, approximately 20 million people have died from AIDS.
