HIV/AIDS


The impact of HIV/AIDS

Although the HIV/AIDS epidemic reached its peak in magnitude in 2005, more than 35 million people are living with HIV worldwide currently. As of 2019, sub-Saharan Africa is the region most disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS virus, accounting for

  • 74.0% of global HIV-related deaths  
  • 64.9% of new HIV infections 

The overall infection rate for HIV/AIDS has been falling globally, in part thanks to intervention techniques. Some examples of successful interventions for HIV/AIDS include

  • antiretroviral therapies (ART)
  • prophylaxis
  • prevention of mother-to-child transmission  

Over the past 20 years, HIV has become a manageable chronic illness for people who can be tested and treated.
