“Number of people living with HIV by region and proportion
around the world.” Pie chart. Global HIV/ AIDS Response. www.avert.org. 20 Mar. 2012. <http://www.avert.org/worldstatisticsinformation.htm>
This chart shows that the majority of people living with HIV are in low and middle income countries by region in 2010. The largest population of infected people are in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is two-thirds of the world's population, or 68 percent. The second highest is in East, South and South-East Asia, this is 4.1 million people, or 12 percent. North America contains 1.5 million, or 4.5 percent. Eastern Europe and Central Asia, also Central and South America account for 1.4 million people of the world's population, or 4.5 percent. This image answers my question "Which country has the largest population of people infected with HIV and AIDS?". I know now that the largest percentage of the people reside in Africa.
