The statistics published by the UNAIDS/WHO depicted that during 2004 around 5,000,000 adults and children became infected with HIV and by the end of the year, an estimated 39,400,000 people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS. The year also saw more than 3,000,000 deaths from AIDS, despite the availability of HIV antiretroviral therapy which reduced the number of deaths in high income countries. With these staggering statistics, VeeV Design‘s AIDS memorial was designed to “experientially jolt and reveal the impact of these massively incomprehensible quantities.”
