People in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than one dollar a day. Africa is the least likely region to be able to meet the "Millennium Development Goals" to send children to school, ensure access to clean water for families, and reduce poverty. The situation of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is terrible, as it remains as the most affected region. Globally, more than two thirds of people who got HIV live in this region while three quarters of all HIV deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa in 2007. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most desperate region of the damage caused by AIDS and they need help. In Sub-Saharan Africa, about 22 million people are infected by AIDS/HIV. This number is equal to two thirds of the people who are infected by HIV/AIDS worldwide. In order to prevent AIDS from infecting more and more people worldwide, people must get educated about how to avoid HIV/AIDS from threatening people's lives. If people don't have any information about AIDS, they will get even more vulnerable to AIDS because they won't know what to do to prevent AIDS from threatening their lives.
