PIP: In October 1994, 145 new cases of AIDS were reported in the UK, bringing to 10,000 the total reported from 1982 to October 31, 1994 (68% have died). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 17 million people have been infected with the virus worldwide. There are regional differences in which subgroups are primarily affected. In most parts of the world, homosexuals and IV drug users are the predominant group, but in sub-Saharan Africa, the most common mode of transmission is through heterosexual intercourse. In this region, the infection has spread widely and rapidly, with prevalence exceeding 10% in Uganda and Zambia today. In the Republic of South Africa, data from prenatal clinics suggest that the prevalence of HIV has increased threefold from 1990 to 1992. In Thailand, prevalence rates of 20% have been reported among military recruits. The WHO estimates that by the year 2000, 30-40 million people will have been infected with HIV (90% in developing countries), and over 5 million children will have been orphaned by the disease. The sharpest increase is predicted to occur in Asia (from 2.5 to 8 million).^ieng
