The above cartogram shows the HIV AIDs statistics in a slightly different light. This map bases the depicted area of the countries on how large their percentages are in relation to each other. Therefore, the countries with the largest percentage of HIV among its people have the largest area, the countries with the smallest percentage are depicted smaller. From this map we can again see that portions of Africa have the highest rates of HIV in the world. In relation to these areas with large rates, we can use South America (which is roughly the same size as Africa on a normal map. South America in this map is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than Africa, showing that its HIV rates are much smaller as well.
