This is the VOA Special English Health Report.
United Nations officials now say fewer people than they thought are
infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
Last year, the agency known as UNAIDS estimated that thirty-nine and
one-half million people were living with H.I.V. On Tuesday it reduced
that by sixteen percent to a little more than thirty-three million.
Agency officials say the lower number represents better information
and information from more countries. The single biggest reason, however,
was an intensive re-examination of India＇s epidemic. At the same time,
the agency reduced its estimates for five African countries: Angola,
Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
Also, UNAIDS says it now believes the number of new H.I.V. cases per
year reached a high in the late nineteen nineties at more than three
million. This year, it estimates that two and one-half million people
became infected, and that two million people died of AIDS.
Yet even as the number of new infections has dropped, the number of
people living with H.I.V. is increasing. Better treatments are extending
lives, and more people are getting the drugs.
Also, the new report says prevention efforts appear to be changing risky
behavior in several of the countries most affected by H.I.V.
But U.N. officials say AIDS is still one of the leading causes of death
worldwide and the major cause in Africa. African death rates remain high,
they say, because treatment needs are not being met.
Sub-Saharan Africa had almost seventy percent of the new cases of H.
I.V. reported this year. But UNAIDS officials say this is a notable reduction
since two thousand one.
Many scientists who study epidemics have long argued that the agency
has been overestimating the extent of H.I.V. worldwide. They say national
estimates have been based mostly on findings from high-risk groups in
large cities.
The lower estimate just released came from more studies of wider society,
including rural areas. Even so, experts say there is a need to further
improve the research methods.
Billions of dollars are being spent to prevent and treat H.I.V. Activists
worry that the new estimate may lead to a drop in financial support.
But UNAIDS officials say it does not change the need for immediate action
and more money. They warn that in some countries, infection rates were
falling but are now rising again.
And that＇s the VOA Special English Health Report, written by Caty Weaver.
