"A catastrophe worse than terrorism" is what United States Secretary of State Colin L. Powell called HIV/AIDS. In a story in the Washington Post, Powell said, "One threat that troubles me perhaps more than any other does not come out of the barrel of a gun, it is not an army on the march, it is not an ideology on a march. It's called HIV/AIDS." Worldwide, forty-two million people are living with HIV/AIDS, of which twenty-nine point four million live in sub-Saharan Africa. Current projections estimate that an additional 45 million people will become infected between two thousand two and two thousand ten. Most of these people will come from underdeveloped countries.
