'''Acquired immune deficiency syndrome ''' ('''AIDS''') is a [[syndrome|collection of symptoms and infections]] resulting from the specific damage to the [[immune system]] caused by the [[HIV|human immunodeficiency virus]] (HIV) in humans,<ref>{{cite web
HIV is a global [[pandemic]]. In 2013, an estimated 35 million people were living with the disease worldwide. An estimated 39 million people have died from [[AIDS]] or AIDS-related causes, including and approximate 1.5 million patients in 2013 alone. Over three-fourths of these deaths are confined to Sub-Saharan Africa. Owing to the development and success of [[HIV AIDS medical therapy|ART]] over the past 25 years, the population of individuals with [[HIV AIDS|HIV infection]] is [[aging]].

==Demographics==
[[Image:Aids2.jpg|500 px|thumb|center|By WHO infographics]]
[http://www.unaids.org UNAIDS] and the [http://www.who.int/en/ WHO] estimate that AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized in 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history.


Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million (between 2.8 and 3.6 million) lives in 2005 of which more than half a million (570,000) were children.
Globally, between 36.7 and 45.3 million people are currently living with HIV.


In 2005, between 4.3 and 6.6 million people were newly infected and between 2.8 and 3.6 million people with AIDS died, an increase from 2004 and the highest number since 1981(UNAIDS, 2005).
===Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan===


Sub-Saharan Africa remains by far the worst-affected region, with an estimated 23.8 to 28.9 million people currently living with HIV. More than 60% of all people living with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa, as are more than three quarters (76%) of all women living with HIV. [15] South & South East Asia are second most affected with 15%. AIDS accounts for the deaths of 500,000 children.
*This strategy has been adopted by the United States since 2019
*The target is reduction of the number of new [[Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)|HIV]] infections by 75% by 2025 and by 90% by 2030.
*It includes 4 elements:
**Early identification of all cases of [[HIV AIDS|HIV infection]]
**Successful treatment with [[HIV AIDS medical therapy|ART]]
**[[Prevention (medical)|Prevention]] of new [[Infection|infections]]
**Rapid response to [[Outbreak|outbreaks]]


The latest evaluation report of the World Bank's Operations Evaluation Department assesses the development effectiveness of the World Bank's country-level HIV/AIDS assistance defined as policy dialogue, analytic work, and lending with the explicit objective of reducing the scope or impact of the AIDS epidemic. This is the first comprehensive evaluation of the World Bank's HIV/AIDS support to countries, from the beginning of the epidemic through mid-2004. Because the Bank's assistance is for implementation of government programs by government, it provides important insights on how national AIDS programs can be made more effective.

Main article: AIDS pandemic

Overview

HIV is a global pandemic. In 2013, an estimated 35 million people were living with the disease worldwide. An estimated 39 million people have died from AIDS or AIDS-related causes, including and approximate 1.5 million patients in 2013 alone. Over three-fourths of these deaths are confined to Sub-Saharan Africa. Owing to the development and success of ART over the past 25 years, the population of individuals with HIV infection is aging. Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) and reduction of both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection with regular use of these agents, routine access to ART is not available in all countries.[1] At the end of 2013, 11.7 million people were receiving ART in low- and middle-income countries representing 36% of people living with HIV in these countries. In 2015,the number of new HIV cases in New York City fell below 2,500 for the first time since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in 1981.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • HIV/AIDS was first reported in the early 1980s.[2]
  • In 2005, approximately 5 million people were newly infected with HIV and approximately 3 million people with AIDS died, an increase from 2004 and the highest number since 1981 (UNAIDS, 2005).
  • Between 2011 and 2017, among patients receiving standard ART regimens, the difference in the incidence of death at 5 years after diagnosis between patients receiving ART and age-matched controls was just 2.7%.[3]
  • In 2013, approximately 6000 new individuals were infected with HIV every day . [4]
  • In 2014, approximately 37,600 Americans became newly infected with HIV.
  • In 2015, an estimated 44% of new infections occurred among key populations and their partners.
  • Between 2000 and 2016, new HIV infections fell by 39% due to the antiretroviral therapy.
  • In 2016, approximately 36.7 million people were found to be infected with HIV and among them 1.8 million people were newly infected with HIV.
  • In 2018, approximately 38,000 new HIV cases were detected in the United States.
  • Between 2014 and 2018, the incidence of HIV cases in adolescents and adults decreased by only 7%.[5]
Estimated New HIV Infections– By HIV.govSource: https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/overview/data-and-trends/statistics

Prevalence

  • More than 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV today, and 1 in 7 of them do not know it.

Estimated number of people living with HIV, 2016– By WHO regionSource: http://www.who.int/gho/hiv/en/


In 2013, the prevalence estimates were as follows:

  • Total = 35 million
  • Adults = 31.8 million
  • Women = 16 million
  • Children (<15 years) = 3.2 million

Age

  • Globally, an estimated 2.5 million children are living with HIV. An estimated 400,000 children are infected yearly.[6]

  • Owing to the development and success of ART over the past 25 years, the population of individuals with HIV infection is aging.
  • For example, in the United States, more than half of the patients receiving care for HIV infection are older than 50 years of age and 18% are older than 60 years.[7]

Gender

In the United States, males are more commonly affected than females. This may be related to the higher prevalence of HIV in homosexual men.

    • Total = 1.5 million
    • Adults = 1.3 million
    • Children (>15 years) = 190,000
  • In 2016, 1.0 million people died from HIV-related causes globally.
  • HIV is a major global public health issue and has claimed more than 35 million lives so far.
  • Between 2000 and 2016, HIV-related deaths fell by one third with 13.1 million lives saved due to ART.

Treatment

  • The number of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy has been on the rise since the introduction of these agents.
  • In 2013, approximately 12.5 million individuals were receiving antiretroviral therapy.
  • Between 2000 and 2016, new HIV infections fell by 39% due to the antiretroviral therapy.
  • Between 2000 and 2016, HIV-related deaths fell by one third with 13.1 million lives saved due to ART.
  • Global ART coverage for pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV is high at 76%.
  • In 2016, almost 8 out of 10 pregnant women living with HIV, or 1.1 million women, received antiretrovirals (ARVs).
  • In mid-2017, 20.9 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy globally.
  • 54% of adults living with HIV are currently receiving lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART).
  • 43% of children living with HIV are currently receiving lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Developing Countries

  • Sub-Saharan Africa remains by far the worst affected region, with an estimated 23.8 to 28.9 million people currently living with HIV. More than 60% of all people living with HIV are in Sub-Saharan Africa, as are more than three quarters (76%) of all women living with HIV.
  • In 2007, Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 76% of all AIDS deaths and approximately 35% of all new infections worldwide. Unlike other regions, most people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa in 2007 (61%) were women. Adult prevalence in 2007 was an estimated 5.0%, and AIDS continued to be the single largest cause of mortality in this region.[6] South Africa has the largest population of HIV patients in the world, followed by Nigeria and India.[9] South & South East Asia are the second worst affected regions; in 2007, an estimated 18% of all people living with AIDS, and an estimated 300,000 deaths from AIDS were attributable to these regions.[6] The estimated adult prevalence of AIDS in India is approximately 0.36%.[6] Life expectancy has fallen dramatically in the worst-affected countries; for example, in 2006 it was estimated that it had dropped from 65 to 35 years in Botswana.[10]

Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan

  • This strategy has been adopted by the United States since 2019
  • The target is reduction of the number of new HIV infections by 75% by 2025 and by 90% by 2030.
  • It includes 4 elements:
