2.31 * 10^9 people (2.31 billion people)

We are told that AIDS has a growth rate of 190%, meaning it kills 190% more people every year.

If the number of people who died in 1983 was 1700, then in 2--5 (22 years later) the number of people killed will be


1700*1.9^(22)=2.31*10^9\text{ people}

which is our answer!
