1.      From 1980 to 2005 sub-Saharan Africa gained 358 million people (equivalent to 1.3 times the population of the USA.)

     3.      The 1 million AIDS cases would be dwarfed by the overwhelming population growth and the fact that African “AIDS-diseases” are indistinguishable from conventional African morbidity and mortality caused by poverty, malnutrition, and poor sanitation.
