In 2024, the global prevalence of HIV among individuals aged 15-49 remains highly variable across countries. Swaziland leads with a 26.6% prevalence rate, followed by Lesotho (19.6%) and South Africa (18.1%). Notable year-on-year decreases are seen in nations like Ivory Coast (-7.79%), Burkina Faso (-6.51%), and Kenya (-3.84%). Some countries, such as Pakistan (24.57%), Ireland (8.45%), and the Philippines (14.87%), have shown positive changes. Five-year CAGR data indicates an overall declining trend in many African nations.
Future trends to watch include the impact of new HIV treatment policies and preventive measures, particularly in African regions with high prevalence rates, and changes in countries that have recently shown increased rates such as Pakistan and the Philippines. Emerging health policies and funding for HIV-related healthcare will be critical in shaping future trends.
