From the text:
No one knows for sure, but local doctors think that as many as 30 percent of all men and women of childbearing age who live in the vicinity of Mount Elgon are infected with HIV. Most of them will die of AIDS. Many of their newborn children will also contract AIDS and die of the virus in childhood.Source(s)
