Abstract

In 2013, UNAIDS reported some 35.3 million (32.2–38.8 million) people were living with HIV. UNAIDS also suggests that every day, around 7000 persons become infected with HIV and 5000 persons die from AIDS, due mostly to lack of access to HIV prevention, care and treatment services. Globally, AIDS-related illnesses remain a leading cause of death (UNAIDS 2013). The epidemic has spared no country in the world, although in some countries prevalence rates are still low. However, it should be noted that low prevalence rates at national level may mask pockets within a country where the rate is high.
