每年约有1500万婴幼儿死于可预防的疾病,主要发生在第三世界。同这个数字相比,正式报给世界卫生组织的艾滋病例的数目(1987年共计已超过53,000例),看起来并不算大,何况这一数目是自1980年首次发现这种疾病以来报道的累计数字。考虑到每一个艾滋病例可能代表着100名受艾滋病毒感染者,同时考虑到可能对爱滋病例少报,估计目前约有5百万到1千万人是爱滋病毒携载者。这一数字要小于世界上贫穷国家每年死于可预防疾病的儿童数目。因此,在第三世界国家,关于艾滋病对未来人口和
About 15 million infants and young children die each year of preventable diseases, mainly in the Third World.

Therefore, in the third world countries, about the future of AIDS and population
