22,385 news articles containing HIV as searched on google news in the last 30 days
59,351 news articles containing swine flu as searched on google news in the last 30 days

WHY!? 36,966 more articles about swine flu than HIV/AIDS - why? why are we not talking about HIV/AIDS more than the swine flu? If we were to treat HIV/AIDS like we have the swine flu - would be we looking at the same epidemic?

According to the World Health Organization’s most recent figures, almost 40,000 people in 88 countries have been infected by the H1N1 swine flu virus worldwide, including 167 deaths.

Number of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2006*

Total: 39.5 million

Adults: 37.2 million

Women: 17.7 million

Children under 15: 2.3

Misc. facts and figures Number of AIDS Deaths in 2006
2.9 million. (2.6 million adults and 380,000 children under 15)

Number of Orphaned Children by AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa at the End of 2003
12 million

By December 2003 women accounted for nearly 50 percent of all people living with HIV worldwide, and for 57 percent in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Young people (15-24 years old) account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide, more than 6000 become infected with HIV every day.

An estimated five million people in low and middle income countries do not have the AIDS drugs which could save their lives.

I just do not understand it. National HIV Testing Day - June 27th - Know Your Status!
