Trog, why are you using the term "Sub Saharan Africa" as a catch all descriptor for this epidemic? Lesotho's prevalence rate is 28% Somalia's is 0.5% Do you think it's fair to the NHS that you use the term "SSA" when Lesotho's prevalence rates is 60 times greater than Somalia's?

If you preffer, the term should be Niger-Congo Africa. That's the region where HIV soars.
