If this conteest was in Africa, it would be mad results, just looks at the stats ...

National HIV prevalence rates vary greatly between countries. In Somalia and Gambia the prevalence is under 2% of the adult population, whereas in South Africa and Zambia around 20% of the adult population is infected.

In four southern African countries, the national adult HIV prevalence rate has risen higher than was thought possible and now exceeds 30%. These countries are Botswana (37.5%), Lesotho (31.5%), Swaziland (38.6%) and Zimbabwe (33.7%).

West Africa is relatively less affected by HIV infection, but the prevalence rates in some countries are creeping up. In west and central Africa HIV prevalence is estimated to exceed 5% in eight countries including Cameroon (11.8%), Central African Republic (12.9%), Côte d'Ivoire (9.7%) and Nigeria (5.8%).
