Next Wave of HIV/AIDS: Nigeria, Ethiopia, Russia, India, and China

摘要

The number of people with HIV/AIDS will grow significantly by the end of the decade. The increase will be driven by the spread of the disease in five populous countries - Nigeria, Ethiopia, Russia, India, and China- where the number of infected people will grow from around 14 to 23 million currently to an estimated 50 to 75 million by 2010. This estimate eclipses the projected 30 to 35 million cases by the end of the decade in central and southern Africa, the current focal point of the pandemic.
