World is off track to achieve the three zeros of the envisioned global HIV response (zero new HIV infections, zero AIDS-related deaths and zero discrimination) by 2030, according to a new report released by UNAIDS.
COVID-19 has disrupted the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere. As the pandemic spreads in countries in sub-Saharan Africa with high HIV prevalence, there is evidence that people living with HIV are at higher risk of COVID-related morbidity and mortality.
Lockdowns have also made accessing clinics and getting treatment difficult in many countries. Recent modelling has estimated that a six-month disruption of antiretroviral therapy could lead to more than 500 000 additional deaths from AIDS-related illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa in 2020–2021.
HIV risk among adults is higher among specific ages, genders and sub-populations by region. In sub-Saharan Africa, adolescent girls and young women (aged 15 to 24 years) in particular are at higher risk of HIV infection: they accounted for about 1 in 4 new infections, despite comprising only 10 percent of the population. In the region most affected by HIV, eastern and southern Africa, adolescent girls and young women accounted for 30 percent of new infections.
Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, men accounted for the majority of new adult HIV infections in 2019, ranging from 57 percent in the Caribbean to 79 percent in western and central Europe and North America. Globally in 2019, almost one quarter (23 percent) of new adult HIV infections were among gay men and other men who have sex with men. This population accounted for more than 40 percent of new infections in Asia and the Pacific and Latin America, and nearly two thirds (64 percent) of new infections in western and central Europe and North America. Young gay men and other men who have sex with men (aged 15 to 24 years) are at particular risk in high-income countries of western and central Europe and North America, accounting for 36 percent of infections in the region in 2019.
Approximately 10 percent of new adult HIV infections worldwide were among people who inject drugs. This population made up almost half (48 percent) of new infections in eastern Europe and central Asia, 43 percent in the Middle East and North Africa, 17 percent in Asia and the Pacific, and 15 percent in western and central Europe and North America. Finally, an estimated 8 percent of new adult infections globally were among sex workers of all genders, while transgender women accounted for a small share of new HIV infections worldwide but disproportionally large shares of new infections in Asia and the Pacific (7 percent), Latin America (6 percent) and the Caribbean (5 percent).
Increased access to antiretroviral therapy has averted an estimated 12.1 million AIDS-related deaths since 2010. The estimated 690 000 lives lost due to AIDS-related illnesses worldwide in 2019 was the lowest number of deaths since 1993, and a 39 percent reduction since 2010.
UNAIDS estimates that 25.4 million people were accessing antiretroviral therapy in 2019 and that 38 million people globally were living with HIV in 2019. 1.7 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2019- lowest annual number of new infections since 1989. At the same time, 690 000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in 2019.
In total, 75.7 million people have become infected with HIV since the start of the epidemic and 32.7 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses globally.
Adolescent girls and young women account for 1 in 4 infections in Sub-Saharan Africa.
