You need to distinguish between HIV and AIDS. HIV is the virus that is contracted; AIDS is the later stage of it, where the immune system becomes so damaged it can no longer function properly, leaving you open to opportunistic infections. This is a good map showing the prevalence of HIV throughout the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HIV_Epidem.png It is most prevalent in sub-saharan Africa.
