Sources: Most data are from: UNAIDS Report on the Global Epidemic 2010, available at: http://www.unaids.org/globalreport/Global_report.htm (accessed 4 July 2011). UNAIDS lists Sudan and Somalia in North Africa; the above table shows them in East Africa. UNAIDS does not give HIV prevalence for Ethiopia and Democratic Republic of the Congo; for these countries, the table shows HIV prevalence from national Demographic and Health Surveys (available at: http://www.measuredhs.com/countries/).

For one and a half month, I have been reading, studing and reasoning about your finding inconnection to HIV infection. I think You are right. On Satarday 19th Nov. We had a meeting in my office to review all these. At the end of the members of our CBO requested that, we write and ask you to give more facts to this wonderful findings. My home country is Kenya, Kuria districts with HIV preve. of 3%.
Thank you Mathias, let us discuss privately, collery [at] gmail [.] com. I am based in Arusha at present but spent some time in Kenya.
