AIDS has been most devastating to underdeveloped regions of the world.
There is no such thing as a "last stage" classification of AIDS. In the United States, a person is given and AIDS diagnosis if their cell counts drop below 200, but it is not classified as "last stage."
A disese which is constantly present in an area is called as "endemic disease." A disease which spreds in a small area is called as "epidemic". A disease which spreads throughout the world is called as "pandemic". Eg. The recent psread of the bird-flu from china to other parts of the world.

Aids is not a bacteria. Aids is not found on hands (or that would be extremely rare).
CD4 cells (which HIV destroys) are responsible for locating infections in the Human Body and co-ordinating the destruction of those infections. Healthy People have between 700-1500 (depending on source) AIDS sufferers have below 200 (note if CD4 count rises above 200 due to medication they are still classified as having AIDS) The low CD4 count allows Infection to enter the body and replicate with little to no resistance. What can be minor to a healthy person could prove fatal to an AIDS sufferer.

At this time the pandemic is worst in Africa, but the whole world has been affected by it.

AIDS is perhaps the worse pandemic disease seen coming out of Africa. It has become a chronic disease with an extremely high death rate.AIDS!
Lesotho Gabriel Mosarwe has written: 'Beyond the AIDS pandemic'
AIDS is a virus, not a disease. You can only contract AIDS by first having HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus). HIV/AIDScould be considered an epidemic by the millions of people who have died from the virus and our inability to control/cure it. Scientists have never been able to locate where HIV was 'born'.
The disease AIDS is currently considered a pandemic. It classifies as this due to it being a problem in a large area of the world and it's constant spreading.
AIDS is pandemic in many areas of Africa, because of the lack of modern medical treatment and the difficulty of educating the populace about its prevention.
