In just twenty years AIDS has tragically become the disease of mass destruction. The death rate from AIDS is now at 10,000 a day and accelerating. At least 50 million people are currently infected with AIDS, 4 million of them children under 16 years of age--over 4 million died from the disease in 2002--and 7 million more people were infected in 2003.
It is hard to realize the meaning of these figures. Compare them with the deaths by terrorist acts. What impact would terrorism have on the world if it slew 4 million people this year? The world would be shocked and all nations would band together to counter the threat.
Or what if a nation murdered that many people by act of war? The world's nations would denounce the deed as genocide. As it is, these are largely just statistics to most of the Western World--but not to the people in the midst of this horrible disease.
Sub-Saharan Africa has so far borne the brunt of current infections and death. While Southern Africa represents less than 2 percent of the world's population, the region has roughly 35 percent of the world's current cases of the disease.
But that will change, with infections spreading rapidly throughout India, China, Indonesia, Russia and many of the former Soviet satellites. India is thought to be underreporting and underestimating the infection rate there. New estimates project that in 2008 the infection rate in india will be 30 million people.
It can take up to a decade or more for the disease to begin to kill after infection. Therefore, this horrible disease will keep spreading death and suffering in mind-numbing numbers into the indefinite future. If homosexuals had not ignored nature's obvious laws against sexual misconduct, none of this would be happening.
