World Bank Supports HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean (Overiew)	Stevan Jackson	17 Apr 2007
In 2006, close to 1.7 million people were living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean, two thirds of who live in the four largest countries: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. Last year alone an estimated 140,000 people were newly infected with HIV and approximately 60,000 people died of AIDS. In the last 20 years, a total of 600,000 people have died from AIDS in the region. The latest UNAIDS estimates published in November 2006 indicate that HIV prevalence is highest in the smaller countries of Central America: just under 1% in El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama, 1.5% in Honduras and 2.5% in Belize in 2005.
AIDS at 25: Media Campaigns, Trend Data and Other Resources	Kaiser Family Foundation	12 Jun 2006
Twenty-five years ago on June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the first warning about a disease that would become know as AIDS. In the early years of the epidemic, fear and misinformation were pervasive, as researchers worked to identify and understand the virus and how it spread. Since that time, AIDS has changed the world, growing into a global pandemic affecting tens of millions of men, women and children. The Kaiser Family Foundation is releasing two new documents that provide historical perspective on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States -- a new report on the history and development of national HIV/AIDS- focused media campaigns and a chart pack of key trends in the U.S. epidemic.
