25 million people have died from HIV/AIDS worldwide since 1981. Currently, around 33-40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, with the number of orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa increasing 50% since 1990. HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in Africa, with former Secretary of State Colin Powell stating it is "more destructive than any war".
