AIDS: The Worst Epidemic?

So AIDS is the worst epidemic in history? I seem to recall the Black Death (not to be confused with OJ Simpson) killing between 1/4 and 1/3 of Europe's population. Comparatively, then, AIDS is not even close to on-par with the Bubonic Plague.

Furthermore, the Plague could be spread simply by breathing or being around certain rats. AIDS is completely preventable. How pathetic that our day and age suffers from an epidemic that could be eradicated without medicine.
