World AIDS Day

A few stats from the UN's AIDS Epidemic Update for 2006.
Total number of people living with AIDS as of 2006 is 39.5 Million. Of this number, 2.3 million are under 15 years of age.

5.7 million people are living with AIDS in India as of 2005. My home town Namakkal is among the places with highest prevalence of AIDS (directly attributable to the number of lorry drivers hailing from the region).
