Total number of AIDS-related deaths worldwide 2000-2023

UNAIDS estimated that there were some 630,000 people worldwide that died from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 2023. This statistic depicts the total number of annual AIDS-related deaths worldwide from 2000 to 2023. HIV/AIDS burdenA majority of countries with the highest burden due to HIV and AIDS are in Africa- in 2023, the highest number of AIDS-related deaths occurred in South Africa and Nigeria 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 interventionsIn part due to the development of ART, the number of people living with HIV worldwide is continuing to increase, reaching almost 40 million in 2023. 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.

联合国艾滋病规划署估计，2023年全球约有63万人因获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）去世。此统计数据描绘了2000年至2023年全球每年AIDS相关死亡总数。就HIV/AIDS的负担而言，多数受HIV和AIDS影响最严重的国家位于非洲——2023年，南非和尼日利亚的AIDS相关死亡人数最多，而斯威士兰的HIV感染率最高。尽管近年来全球范围内对挽救生命的抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）的获取有所增加，但许多HIV感染者仍无法获得ART。在ART的发展部分得益于，全球HIV感染者的人数仍在持续增加，2023年接近4000万。应对疾病负担的重要公共卫生措施包括一系列生物医学和行为干预措施，如暴露前和暴露后预防，以及针对特定情境的结构性干预措施，以减少获取供应和教育方面的障碍。HIV感染者面临的一个显著障碍是污名化，这常常导致他们在就业、使用医疗服务和获得社会支持等多个生活领域遭受不利。
