THE FACTS+STATISTICS By the end of 2005, 40.3 million people were living with HIV/AIDS, including 17.5 million women and 2.3 million children under age 15. Worldwide, 62% of infected young people are girls, and that number soars to 77% in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2005 alone, a total of 3.1 million people died of HIV/AIDS-related causes. Without prevention efforts, 35% of children born to an HIV positive mother will become infected with HIV. At least a quarter of newborns infected with HIV die before age one, and up to 60% will die before reaching their second birthdays. Today, mother-to-child transmission of HIV is the primary mode of acquisition of HIV for the more than 2 million children living with HIV. DANCE MARATHON IS WORKING TO CHANGE THIS.
