Antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage in Argentina has shown consistent growth from 2013 to 2023, reaching 75 Units of Persons Living with HIV in 2023. From 2013 onwards, the year-on-year growth rate has progressively decreased, with notable acceleration observed in 2021 (4.35%), before stabilizing at 2.74% in 2023. Analyzing the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates a general slowdown from 5.54% in 2013 to 2.9% in 2023. For the forecasted period (2024-2028), the 5-year CAGR is predicted to taper to 1.51%, projecting a total growth of 7.79% by 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Integration of new ART advancements that could boost coverage rates despite the slowing growth trend.
- Government policies and international support efforts aiming at increasing accessibility and affordability of ART.
