Factors in HIV/AIDS transmission in sub-Saharan Africa.
At the end of 2000, over 70%of the 36million people living with HIV/AIDS were in sub-Saharan Africa and 16% in South-East Asia, while the rest of the world accounted for less than 14% (AIDS epidemic update: December 2000, UNAIDS/WHO, 2000).

METHODS To test the effect of individual variat...
