Notes
The figures are the estimates at the end of 1999, published by UNAIDS
in the "Report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic June 2000". The figure are
estimates based on a number of different sources of information, rather
then exact counts of infections.
An adult is defined, for the purposes of this estimating, as being
someone aged 15-49. This age range captures this in their most sexually
active years.
For further information, see our web pages AIDS in Africa, AIDS orphans in Africa and
HIV and AIDS in
Africa.
