Scary Stuff: Aids & Africa
HIV/AIDS and Life Expectancy in Africa (via Ben Muse)
From the Economic Report of the President, 2005:
The Report notes that:
"As a result of its lethality and the relative youth of its victims, HIV/AIDs has reduced life expectancy by more than 20 years in many African countries. Life expectancy in some countries is projected to fall to roughly 30 years within the next decade, whereas in the absence of HIV/AIDS some were expected to approach or exceed 70 years."
