An estimated
Based on information from the previous page and also the table above, reflect on the questions below:
- Why do you think the number of people infected with HIV/AIDS has increased from 20.3 million in 2001 to 22.5 million in 2009?
- Why do you think the number of new infections has reduced from 2.2 million in 2001 to 1.8 million in 2009?
- Why do you think that more females than males are infected with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa?
- What do you think are the problems that the 14 million orphaned children in Sub-Saharan Africa face?
