Statistics are estimations at best:
HIV/AIDS - 2.0 million worldwide, 76% are from sub-Saharan Africa alone.
Influenza (flu) - 250,000 to 500,000 per year worldwide (however, death rates in pandemic years can be substantially higher. In 1918, an estimated 17 million died worldwide from Spanish flu.)
This is intended to emphasize the mutability of yearly statistics.
It is important to point out that the transmission pathways and rates of transmission are far higher for influenza than HIV/AIDS; this however by no means is intended to reduce the seriousness of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
