At the end of 2005, the total AIDS count for that year was counted. It reached 437,982 people and that's just in the USA alone. There is thought to be though between 1,039,000 and 1,185,000 people living with AIDS in the USA. This is because many other events have been taken into consideration. Such as, confidential name-base reporting hasn't been set up in all states so anyone can access the information. Also because anonymous tests, home tests for instance, were not included in the numbers. Last is that one in every four people living with HIV has not even had their infection diagnosed or reported.
This image shows the proportions of the different races that have AIDS.
This is how the AIDS victims recieved AIDS within the different genders. Apparently around 77% of AIDS victims are men.
Out of children about 1,411 of them have AIDS from under the age of 13. This is really good considering that they probably got infected from their mothers.
