Experts now say that the number of Aids cases, especially in the developing world, may be less than half of what had been reported, according to experts.

In Rwanda, for instance, the prevalence of the disease is expected to be put at five percent of the population; four years ago, the estimate was 11 percent. In Haiti, the estimate is expected to be placed at three percent, whereas the most recent report from the United Nations had it at six percent.

Even with lower estimates, the Globe reports, health specialists say that Aids remains a dangerous pandemic in the developing world, especially in Africa, where it has killed millions in the prime of their lives. – (HealthDayNews)
