-"In South Africa, half our young people will die of AIDS." -Nelson Mandela, July 2000

-At the end of 2000, some 38 million men, women and children were living with HIV or AIDS, and 16.3 million had already died from the disease.

-HIV/AIDS is now the leading cause of death in Africa and the fourth most common cause of death worldwide.

-By 2010, there will be 40 million AIDS orphans globall, the equivalent of all children attending public schools in the U.S.

-In 1999, there were 5.4 million new infections, 4.0 million of them in sub-Saharan Africa. In Africa, HIV-positive women outnumber men by 2 million.
