According to http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/, last year an estimate 2.4 million people in Africa died of HIV/AIDS. To answer your question, that's roughly 6,575 people each day -- or 4.6 people every minute... :-(
In other words, in the time it took me to write this message and did some research, some 100 people in Africa died of HIV/AIDS... :-(
Other stats (for sub-Saharan Africa, by far the worst effected region in the world):
- People living with HIV/AIDS: 29.4 million (including 3 million children under 15)
- New infections in 2002: 3.5 million
