Classed choropleth maps show areas by colored or shaded to reflect the value of the mapped. This particular map shows the number of people living with HIV in Europe in 2005. It's interesting how Russia and Ukraine have the highest numbers, and how these two countries are former soviet countries. I am not sure what the soviet stance was on gays and on AID's issues, but perhaps these numbers have something to do with AIDS and sex education taught in public schools.
