Apr 07, 2008 – Washington DC, -- Most recent center for disease control (CDC) data, show that approximately 10% of the world population lives in sub-Saharan Africa, but the region accounts for approximately 64% of the world population living with HIV. South Africa and Nigeria currently account for the largest HIV population in Africa, where it is a pandemic. USAID reports also show that there are approximately 12.0 million AIDS orphans living in sub-Saharan Africa out of the 15 millions AIDS orphans worldwide and several more children are projected to become orphaned by the AIDS pandemic in Africa. This dangerous trend calls for serious counter measures to impede it.
