It affected people from all over the world, from all races, from all backgrounds and social hierarchies. Tens of millions of people have died from it, and every day there are tens of thousands newly infected, mostly in the less developed countries, having their lives doomed even before they start as most of them get it from their parents when they have been conceived.
