Abstract
The WHO estimated in 1991 that as many as 6 000 000 people in the whole of Africa might be HIV positive (the estimate for South Africa is about 100 000).1 If this estimate is in any way a correct indication of the situation, then the downstream socio-economic effects of AIDS-related illness and death may be very considerable in the next decades.
