The global AIDS epidemic expanded in 2003 with five million new infections and three million deaths, according to a global report released today by the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
There are currently 38 million people living with the virus worldwide, according to estimates, with the greatest number -- 25 million -- in Africa alone. The report emphasizes that the epidemic manifests itself in different ways in the various regions of the continent. While seven Southern African nations have prevalence rates ranging from 17 percent to more than 35 percent, West African nations generally have prevalence rates in the one to five percent range.
