By the end of 1984, 11,152 AIDS cases had been reported in the United States, and 762 cases had been reported in Europe. But the disease was not limited to these areas. AIDS was also traveling across Africa. Later research revealed that in 1984 nearly two million people in Africa were living with HIV, and by 1990, over one million people there had died of AIDS.
