Although people living with HIV/AIDS can receive antiretroviral therapy and live many years, they are extremely susceptible to co-‐infections. Even with medication, the combination of HIV/AIDS and TB is often fatal. In Swaziland, a small country nestled in Southern Africa, the total population in 2010 was only 449,900 people. Of that population, the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS was 33%. In 2010 the total number of deaths in Swaziland was approximately 13,000. In the same year the number of HIV-related deaths was reported as 9,300. Question: What was the cause-specific mortality rate from HIV per 1000 people? (round to the nearest whole number)?
