Ten facts about HIV/AIDS ahead of World AIDS Day

Live Mint  

Despite major advances, HIV/AIDS remains one of the world’s most significant public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with new diagnoses every year and young women in sub-Saharan Africa seen as being particularly at risk. World AIDS Day on 1 December is used to unite people in the fight against HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus first identified in 1984, to show their support for people living with HIV and commemorate those who have died. Globally about 36.9 million people are living with HIV including 2.6 million children 2. An estimated 34 million people have died from HIV or AIDS, including 1.2 million in 2014 4.
