Abstract
It seems likely that mortality associated with HIV/AIDS infections, transmitted horizontally by heterosexual contacts among adults and vertically to the offspring of infected mothers, will have significant demographic effects in Africa, and possibly in other developing countries. Such demographic effects may, indeed, also be significant in the long run among subgroups (such IV-drug abusers), and possibly more generally, in developed countries.
