5700 deaths a day in 2007 because of AIDS
Just a few days before the World AIDS day on December the first, UNAIDS just gave us the last figures of the pandemia. As bad as ever.
The survey mentions that the number of HIV infected went down from 39,5 million to 33,2 million worldwide. This is true but although this sounds encouraging, there is a more realistic explanation : UNAIDS has new and more precise evaluation methods.
The situation is still very serious : 5700 people die every day and in 2007 ,2,1 million people died of AIDS, among them 300.000 children younger than 15.
2,5 million people have been infected in 2007, among them 400.000 children.
