AB Worldwide, the number of people infected with HIV or ill with AIDS
continues to increase, as does the impact of the epidemic on families,
communities and nations. Epidemiological modelling indicates growing
endemicity of HIV infection in areas where the epidemic is mature, such
as parts of sub-Saharan Africa and western Europe, and incipient or
explosive expansion in others, such as Asia. The implications for action
are correspondingly different, though in all parts of the world a prime
focus must be on giving young people the information, skills and
services they need to protect themselves. In Asia, according to a WHO
study, prevention is likely to be effective, as well as readily
affordable, in curbing the rapid expansion of the epidemic.
