| These
figures are estimated at the end of 2001, published by UNAIDS in the
report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic, July 2002. These estimates
include all people with HIV infection, whether or not they have
developed symptoms of AIDS, alive at the end of 2001. For each of
these countries, the 1999 prevalence rate published by UNAIDS was
applied to the countries 2001 adult population to produce estimates
given in the table. The estimates are given in rounded numbers,
however, ungrounded numbers were used in the calculation of rates and
regional totals. There may be minor discrepancies between he global
and regional totals and the sums of country figures.
Adults in this report are defined as men and women aged between 15-49.
This range captures those in their mostly sexual active years. While
the risk of HIV infection continues beyond the age of 50, the vast
majority of people with substantial risk behavior are likely to have
become infected by this age. Since population structures differ
greatly from one country to another, especially for children and the
upper adult ages, the restriction of adults to 15-49 has the advantage
of making different populations more comparable.
