I can't seem to post this to sci.med.aids, but I have called
the WHO headquarters in Geneva for specific statistics on AIDS
and have gotten (free) stats which are almost as comprehensive
as the CDC stuff.  I went through the UN office of WHO in New
York (they gave me the number in Geneva.

Calls to Switzerland are expensive, but a good deal cheaper than
a $75 annual.

Oh, the worldwide figures are at least six months out of date when
they're compiled.  For developing countries, that delay can be up to
a year and a half, so the figures aren't quite as useful as they might
be.

Hope this helps.
