The data provided
here is for 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003 . This
data was compiled from the UNAIDS/ WHO epidemiological
Fact Sheet, which is published every two years.
Due to gaps in diagnosis, underreporting, and
reporting delays, (and in some cases unavailability
of data), officially reported AIDS cases represent
only a fraction of all cases in a country.
Completeness of reporting varies substantially
from one country to another, with less than 10%
of documentation in some countries with fewer
resources. |
