Fears of bird flu and SARS have dominated headlines of late, driving the deadly HIV virus into the background of world attention. However, statistics show that AIDS isn't going away. Indeed, to date the disease has claimed the lives of more than 28 million people - nearly three times the total population of the Czech Republic.
