Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) coverage in Spain has shown a consistent upward trend over the past decade. From 2013 to 2023, the actual coverage has increased from 72 to 91 persons living with HIV. Between 2022 and 2023, the year-on-year variation was 2.25%, slightly higher than the previous year's 1.14%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years stands at 1.61%, reflecting moderate but steady growth.
Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 anticipate continued growth in ART coverage, rising from 92 to 97 persons living with HIV. A projected five-year CAGR of 1.06% suggests a continued, albeit slower, increase compared to the past rates. The estimated 5-year growth rate through 2028 is 5.43%, indicating sustained efforts to expand coverage.
Future trends to watch for:
- Continued government and non-governmental initiatives to increase ART accessibility.
