HIV infected nearly 5 million and killed more than 3 million people in 2005. Whereas traditional epidemics have been limited to high-risk populations, in many regions, it has generalized to the at-large population, with heterosexual sex being the predominant source of transmission. The virus has hit sub-Saharan Africa the hardest, although major epidemics are now transpiring in Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean. The United Nations and World Health Organization have produced targeted prevention strategies to control the pandemic that focus on comprehensive prevention activities and universal access to care.
2005年，艾滋病病毒感染了近500万人，并导致300多万人死亡。传统的流行病通常局限于高危人群，但在许多地区，它已经传播到普通人群，异性性行为成为主要传播途径。该病毒对撒哈拉以南非洲地区的影响最为严重，不过目前亚洲、东欧和加勒比地区也出现了大规模疫情。联合国和世界卫生组织已经制定了针对性的预防策略来控制这一流行病，重点是全面的预防活动和普遍获得医疗服务。
