IHME study reveals significant progress and gaps in the global fight against HIV/AIDS

Sub-Saharan Africa leads the world in cutting new HIV infections and deaths from the disease 

Despite progress, UNAIDS's HIV infection reduction and AIDS-related deaths 2030 targets won't be met 

The number of people living with HIV is expected to peak at 44.4 million by 2039, followed by a gradual decrease to 43.4 million people by 2050. 

Austin Carter, IHME Research ScientistAlthough new HIV infections and HIV-related mortality have fallen globally, they are increasing in several nations and regions. Our analysis is designed to inform countries' sustained response to HIV that includes expanded access to lifesaving antiretroviral therapy (ART), effective prevention options, and innovative care models."
