PIP: 250 million indigenous or first peoples inhabit 70 countries throughout the world. They are almost universally marginalized, impoverished, and denied access to adequate health care. They are therefore subjected to poor health, malnutrition, endemic sexually transmitted diseases, and a myriad of social problems including prostitution, displacement, resettlement, and substance abuse. Lack of condom availability and use and the plethora of languages in which interventions must be communicated also pose obstacles. 860 languages are spoken by the 3 million first peoples in Papua New Guinea. As HIV sweeps across continents and through populations worldwide, these aforementioned conditions certainly predispose indigenous peoples to the risk of contracting and spreading HIV. The lack of reliable reporting systems to monitor health conditions and the incidence and prevalence of HIV among indigenous populations, and the corresponding lack of hard data make it impossible to reliably estimate the extent of HIV therein. Factors which increase the likelihood that HIV and AIDS will reach epidemic proportions among the indigenous are specially described for Amazonia, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, India, Africa, Australia, Canada, and the US.^ieng
