The Kaiser Family Foundation has updated several resources with new data from UNAIDS on the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. The updates reflect major revisions based on refinements in methodology, increased data availability, and growing knowledge about the natural history of HIV disease. An updated fact sheet provides data on the global impact of HIV/AIDS by region, on women and young people, and data on the global response. Several indicators on globalhealthfacts.org have been updated, including the total number of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, and the total number of AIDS deaths worldwide. Both the HIV/AIDS Overview and Facts at a Glance sections on GlobalHealthReporting.org have also been revised. In addition, there are many new developments in KaiserIV/AIDS, the African Broadcast Media Partnership Against HIV/AIDS, Rap-It-Up with BET, It's Your (Sex) Life with MTV and !Enterate! with Univision. A complete list of resources and information is available at http://www.kff.org/worldaidsday/2007.cfm.
