Aids remains the first cause of death in Africa
On the 21rst of November, UNAIDS, the United Nations Aids agency, will release publicly its 2007 Epidemiological Update report. This report mentions improvements in HIV epidemiological monitoring tools during the year 2007 in a large number of developing countries, thanks in particular to investments allowed by the Global Fund these last years. The number of people living with HIV is now estimated with a better accuracy: whereas a year ago the estimate ranged between 24 and 47 million, in 2007 it has now narrowed to 30-36 million.
