News Briefs AIDS Kills 70,000 Malawians AnnuallyDecember 13, 2001 About 70,000 Malawians die of AIDS every year, health authorities said Monday. "We estimate 70,000 productive lives go annually due to AIDS," said Owen Kalua, executive director of the National AIDS commission. Malawi last year launched a five-year, $110 million national plan aimed at breaking the silence about the disease in a country where sex is still a taboo topic. It is estimated that one in every 10 Malawians lives with HIV. About 60 percent of 11 million Malawians live below the poverty line.
