AIDS is a graph dataset. It consists of 2000 graphs representing molecular compounds which are constructed from the AIDS Antiviral Screen Database of Active Compounds. It contains 4395 chemical compounds, of which 423 belong to class CA, 1081 to CM, and the remaining compounds to CI.

Among all countries worldwide those in sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rates of HIV. The countries with the highest rates of HIV include Eswatini, South Africa, and Lesotho. In 2024, Eswatini had the highest prevalence of HIV with a rate of around ** percent. Other countries, such as Zimbabwe, have significantly decreased their HIV prevalence. Community-based HIV services are considered crucial to the prevention and treatment of HIV. HIV Worldwide The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a viral infection that is transmitted via exposure to infected semen, blood, vaginal and anal fluids, and breast milk. HIV destroys the human immune system, rendering the host unable to fight off secondary infections. Globally, the number of people living with HIV has generally increased over the past two decades. However, the number of HIV-related deaths has decreased significantly in recent years. Despite being a serious illness that affects millions of people, medication exists that effectively manages the progression of the virus in the body. These medications are called antiretroviral drugs. HIV Treatment Generally, global access to antiretroviral treatment has increased. However, despite being available worldwide, not all adults have access to antiretroviral drugs. There are many different antiretroviral drugs available on the market. As of 2024, ********, an antiretroviral marketed by Gilead, was the leading HIV treatment based on revenue.

The average for 2022 based on 48 countries was 3.95 percent. The highest value was in Swaziland: 25.9 percent and the lowest value was in Algeria: 0.1 percent. The indicator is available from 1990 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

HIV/AIDS deaths in the U.S. have dropped significantly in recent years. In 1995, the death rate from HIV per 100,000 people was ****. That number has since decreased to *** per 100,000 as of 2023. The reduction in the HIV death rate in the U.S. can be attributed to an increase in access to HIV medications. HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cause a systemic viral infection that damages the immune system. AIDS is a syndrome that is caused by HIV. AIDS is when the immune system is severely weakened by HIV and the body can no longer fight off infections. Among all U.S. states, Georgia, followed by Florida and Louisiana, had the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in 2022. HIV/AIDS treatments in the U.S. HIV/AIDS treatments include antiretroviral medications to reduce the levels of HIV within the body. The largest funders for HIV/AIDS medications and research are the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Ryan White Program. The top HIV drug worldwide, based on revenue generated in 2023 was Biktarvy. Around the world, access to antiretroviral treatment has increased dramatically in recent years, a huge step in reducing the number of HIV-related deaths. There is currently no cure for HIV.

UNAIDS estimated that there were some ******* people worldwide that died from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 2024. This statistic depicts the total number of annual AIDS-related deaths worldwide from 2000 to 2024. HIV/AIDS burden A majority of countries with the highest burden due to HIV and AIDS are in Africa- in 2024, the highest number of AIDS-related deaths occurred in South Africa and Mozambique and the highest prevalence of HIV was found in Eswatini. Although access to life-saving antiretroviral therapy treatment (ART) has increased globally over recent years, many individuals living with HIV still lack access to ART. Barriers and interventions In part due to the development of ART, the number of people living with HIV worldwide is continuing to increase, reaching almost ** million in 2024. Important public health measures to combat the burden of the disease include a combination of biomedical and behavioral interventions such as pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, and context-specific structural interventions to reduce barriers to supplies and education. One prominent barrier faced by those living with HIV is stigma, which can often cause disadvantages in many areas of life, including employment, use of health services, and social support.

2011 to present. BRFSS combined land line and cell phone prevalence data. BRFSS is a continuous, state-based surveillance system that collects information about modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and other leading causes of death. Data will be updated annually as it becomes available. Detailed information on sampling methodology and quality assurance can be found on the BRFSS website (http://www.cdc.gov/brfss).

Niger: Prevalence of HIV, percent of the population ages 15-49: The latest value from 2022 is 0.2 percent, unchanged from 0.2 percent in 2021. In comparison, the world average is 1.66 percent, based on data from 135 countries. Historically, the average for Niger from 1990 to 2022 is 0.47 percent. The minimum value, 0.2 percent, was reached in 2016 while the maximum of 0.8 percent was recorded in 1997.

As of 2023, South Africa was the country with the highest number of people living with HIV in Africa. At that time, around 7.7 million people in South Africa were HIV positive. In Mozambique, the country with the second-highest number of HIV-positive people in Africa, around 2.4 million people were living with HIV. Which country in Africa has the highest prevalence of HIV? Although South Africa has the highest total number of people living with HIV in Africa, it does not have the highest prevalence of HIV on the continent. Eswatini currently has the highest prevalence of HIV in Africa and worldwide, with almost 26 percent of the population living with HIV. South Africa has the third-highest prevalence, with around 18 percent of the population HIV positive. Eswatini also has the highest rate of new HIV infections per 1,000 population worldwide, followed by Lesotho and South Africa. However, South Africa had the highest total number of new HIV infections in 2023, with around 150,000 people newly infected with HIV that year. Deaths from HIV in Africa Thanks to advances in treatment and awareness, HIV/AIDS no longer contributes to a significant amount of death in many countries. However, the disease is still the fourth leading cause of death in Africa, accounting for around 5.6 percent of all deaths. In 2023, South Africa and Nigeria were the countries with the highest number of AIDS-related deaths worldwide with 50,000 and 45,000 such deaths, respectively. Although not every country in the leading 25 for AIDS-related deaths is found in Africa, African countries account for the majority of countries on the list. Fortunately, HIV treatment has become more accessible in Africa over the years and now up to 95 percent of people living with HIV in Eswatini are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Access to ART does vary from country to country, however, with around 77 percent of people who are HIV positive in South Africa receiving ART, and only 31 percent in the Congo.
