AIDS deaths in Africa
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.
