问题    WASHINGTON—Nearly 40 million children in developing countries stand to lose one or both parents due to AIDS (艾滋病) over the next 13 years, and almost 3 million children under 15 have caught the disease worldwide, US experts said. "More than 40 million children in 23 developing nations will likely have lost one or both their parents by 2010. Most of these deaths will be the result of the HIV/AIDS and complicated illnesses." Brian Atwood, a US official said. Meanwhile, since the first report death of a child by AIDS in Los Angelesl5 years ago, almost 3 million children under 15 are estimated (估计) to have caught the disease worldwide, and at least 1000 were dying each day. "In countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, HIV/AIDS is pulling years of progress in economic and social development," he added. "Life expectancy (估计寿命) which has been steadily on the rise for last thirty years will drop to 40 years or less in nine African countries by the year 2020." Atwood said serious work to help stop children from dying in developing countries was being wiped out. "In all 23 countries included in this study, AIDS-related death will take away the gains made in child survival over the past 20 years. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, children’s death rates will likely nearly double," Atwood said.
