Myanmar?s HIV/AIDS epidemic -- estimated at 1.2 percent of the population -- is considered one of the most serious in Asia. But HIV/AIDS is just the latest problem to afflict this chaotic and corrupt country, which produces much of the world?s opium and has long suffered from social problems connected to its massive drug smuggling industry, including disease, addiction and organized crime. In 1988, the Burmese government was overthrown by a corrupt military junta that changed the country?s name to Myanmar. Reports of torture and mass murder followed. Western nations withdrew aid and imposed trade sanctions, which have crippled the nation?s economy. * Note: Figures reflect most recent statistics from UNAIDS and the World Health Organization.
