Wow...3 million a year...that's crazy...do you know the percentage of deaths per continent by any chance? I'd be interested in seeing the difference in numbers...I know Africa would have the highest percentage.

Even with our technological advances, we can't find a cure for it. Almost as amazing as the statistics posted.

I don't know if its finding a cure I think its more of a money issue. I heard HIV medication is very expensive something like $10,000-$30,000 a month. Only the rich can afford this medication. I think it has to do with the government and insurance companies not paying for this medication. The medication is much cheaper to make, they just want to make a redicious profit.
