The United Nation's AIDS fighting agency has over estimated the victims of this disease by about six million people. However, there is still a significant number of people that have this virus. Now, the estimate is somewhere around 23 million people. A lot of these come from South Africa, which is known for being highly infected with the virus.
AIDS has yet to create an epidemic anywhere besides Africa. Although we haven't found a cure for it yet, we have been making some progress on developing drugs that slow it down, and make it less effective. The downside to some of these drugs is how your immune system is negatively affected, and you can become more susceptible to common infections and other viruses. Because of the way AIDS works, it is very hard to find a real cure for it, so we will have to see if someone can develop a cure over time.
