AIDS Will Shorten Life Expectancy Worldwide
Life expectancies will drop in 51 countries because of the global AIDS pandemic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean will be the hardest hit. Within the next decade, life expectancy in 11 African countries will drop to about age 30--levels not seen in more than 100 years. Life expectancy will be just 27 years in Botswana, where more infants will die of AIDS than from all other causes. :: This USAID report is submitted for your pestilence (Luke 21:11) files.
