Data show that despite rising awareness, sexual behavior in Africa barely changed as the epidemic worsened. New analysis using mortality rates reveals that official infection estimates may be dramatically overstated, possibly by tens of millions. Economic factors like trade and export changes, not just health campaigns, play a surprising role in infection rates.
