How many people have died from influenza( the flu) over the years compared to AIDS?

Q: After reading about the epidemic down Mexico way, I got to thinking that the flu must have killed far more people than AIDS ever did, and I don’t mean just because it has been around longer. So does anyone know the aproximate number of people who have dies from the flu over the years versus the number of people who have died from HIV/ AIDS? And also how many prople currently die each year from each virus?Thanks.

A: HIV/AIDS kills millions of people (~5m) every year, and the number is increasing. It is usually a far more significant health issue than influenza which rarely causes deaths when it is endemic. Pandemic influenza is different because it spreads rapidly and has a higher mortality rate, so it can kill many people in a short period of time before the outbreak burns out. The 1918 pandemic alone probably killed more people (20-100m) than have ever died of HIV/AIDS (~25m), and it did this in months rather than years.
