From The Terrifying Statistics File:

From The Terrifying Statistics File: I heard these numbers the other day on NPR, and was so astounded I sought to verify them myself. Unfortunately, according to AVERT, they're accurate:

Percentage of adults in Botswana living with AIDS/HIV: 39% of the total adult population
Number of adults in South Africa living with AIDS/HIV: 4.7 million
Total number of adults living with AIDS/HIV on the African continent: 26 million

A missing generation of tradesmen, teachers, and doctors.
