Hello Marcio, hello Bob.  My name is Kelvin Wee.  I am a student
at the University of Oregon and am a member of the steering
committee for our AIDS Information Month, to be held in January.
>From Jan. 1 to Jan 31, 1990, students at the University of Oregon
will be bombarded with information, education etc. about AIDS.
It is a huge project and there are several of us working on
different aspects.  My project is to research the global affect
of the disease and prepare a report.  One of my defined projects
is to collect statistics for every country and break it down by
regions -- state/province, city, town etc.  I will be using a map
of the world (one without the Americas in the middle that cuts
Europe and Asia in half on both ends) and different colored pins
to indicate where cases have been reported.  I will be using
black pins to indicate 100 cases, blue pins to indicate 10 cases
and white pins to indicate under 10 cases.  That is the easy
part.  The hard part is finding out which
countries/states/provinces/cities/towns those pins go to.  If
anyone has information on such data, I would appreciate a copy.
I am doing this to show other students at the University of
Oregon that AIDS is a disease that affects the world and not
certain populations of the United States.  Any help will be
appreciated, and if I can provide anyone with any information
that I have found, please do not hesitate to contact me.
