Sources United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO), Report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic, June 1998.
Definition Estimated number of people living with HIV/AIDS include all people with HIV infection, whether or not they have developed symptoms of AIDS, alive at the end of 1997. Adult rate reflects the estimated number of adults living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 1997 divided by the 1997 adult population. Estimated AIDS deaths, adults and children, reflects the estimated number of adults and children who died of AIDS during 1997. Estimated AIDS deaths , cumulative, reflects the estimated number of adults and children who have died of AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic. Estimated AIDS cases, adults and children cumulative, reflects the estimated number of AIDS cases in adults and child ren that have occurred since the beginning of the epidemic. HIV or AIDS first reported, lists the year that the first case of HIV or AIDS was reported by the country. Orphans, cumulative, reflects the estimated number of children who have lost their mother or both parents to AIDS (while they were under age 15) since the beginning of the epidemic.
Notes The global HIV epidemic currently involves two viruses: HIV-1 and HIV-2. Data in this table refer to both viruses. HIV-1 is the dominant type worldwide. HIV-2 is found principally in West Africa, but cases have been reported in East Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America. While the means of transmission for the two viruses are the same, HIV-2 appears to be less easily transmitted than HIV-1 and the progression from HIV-2 infection to AIDS appears to be slower t han that for HIV-1. AIDS is a late-stage infection characterized by a severely weakened immune system that can no longer ward off life-threatening infections and cancers.
