The HIV/AIDS epidemic has had its most profound impact to date in Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of people living with HIV/AIDS (64%), new HIV infections (66%), and AIDS-related deaths (71%) have been in this region, which only accounts for 10%-11% of the world’s population. This series of fact sheets includes an overview of the epidemic and individual country fact sheets for many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with data on the number of people living with HIV/AIDS, the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS, the impact on women, young people and children, and other key aspects of the epidemic.

The fact sheets were originally presented at a meeting of Africa's Media Leaders in Johannesburg, South Africa, October 3-5, 2005.
