There is a lot of data on HIV/AIDS available on the web from different organizations. Unfortunately much of it does not seem to be available as time series.

US Census Bureau -- The US Census Bureau has for many years been collecting data on HIV/AIDS surveys in developing countries.  The Bureau provides free access to this data base, The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base at http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/hivaidsd.html . Data can be downloaded in either ASCII or Lotus format.

World Health Organization -- WHO provides a searchable database HIV/AIDS/STIs at http://www.who.int/GlobalAtlas/DataQuery/home.asp . The search results can be downloaded into Excel.  A useful table in Excel with data on HIV/AIDS for all countries with data for 2001 is available at http://www.who.int/hiv/pub/epidemiology/pubepidemic2002/en/  click "Table of Country-specific HIV/AIDS Estimates and Data, end 2001."  WHO also provides a database which generates Epidemiological Fact Sheets on HIV/AIDS on a country by country basis. These files are in pdf format and are available at http://www.who.int/GlobalAtals/PDFFactory/HIV/index.asp .

UNAIDS -- provides a detailed table at the country level "Table of UNAIDS/WHO country-specific HIV/AIDS estimates end 2001" in either pdf or Excel format at http://www.unaids.org/en/resources/epidemiology.asp . Files in pdf format can also be downloaded for summary data at the regional level for 2001 and 2002.

World Resources Institute -- The WRI provides online data in EarthTrends: The Environmental Information Portal". WRI provides a searchable time-series database with coverage of more than 500 indicators for 220 countries. One of the indicators provides data on HIV infection rates for 1997 and 2001.   The result can be downloaded into csv format. The system also provides data tables and country profiles in pdf format, maps and feature stories. The database is available at http://earthtrends.wri.org/ . The data is also available in a CDROM for $US 125 . Information on the CDROM is available at http://www.wristore.com/woredacd20.html
