Some things to consider today ...

Here are some sobering statistics to consider today...

It is estimated that:

39.1 MILLION people are infected with AIDS worldwide

37.2 million of them are adults

2.3 million are children

17.7 million of them are women

and 24.7 million are living in Sub-Sahara Africa ...

TODAY, and estimated 6 000 people will be infected with HIV ...

This year 2 900 000 people will die of AIDS ...

Since 1981 25 million have died of AIDS ... and in Africa alone there are 12 million orphans.
