The Epoch article listed above makes a mistake/misrepresentation of stats. They write:
“The HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS, is perhaps the most devastating pandemic facing mankind today. Already an estimated 2.1 million people have died as a result of HIV/AIDS, while another estimated 33.2 million people are infected. There is no cure for the virus, although there are several available treatments.”
However, 2.1 was the number of AIDS related deaths in 2007. To date, an estimated 25 million people have died.

The article has since been updated. Thanks Epoch!
