Total number of new HIV infections worldwide 2000-2023

This statistic depicts the total number of annual new HIV infections worldwide from 2000 to 2023. UNAIDS estimated that there were some 1.3 million people worldwide that were newly infected with HIV in 2023. Total number of new HIV infections worldwideHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a condition that slowly destroys or impairs the body’s immune system. It is a retrovirus that slowly progresses through the various stages of the disease. As HIV reproduces, it mutates its structure, which makes it difficult to treat through drug therapy. Around 39.9 million people were living with HIV worldwide as of 2023 with some 30.7 million people accessing ART treatment. There are various types of ways to treat HIV. Antiviral treatment has been on the decline as combination therapy such as fixed-dose combinations become more popular. New HIV infections worldwide have been on the decline since 2000 from 2.8 million new infections to 1.3 million new infections in 2023. Many new infections occur in developing countries, especially those in low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Many of these individuals have no access to drugs or treatment that can make living with HIV more manageable. Children are also susceptible to infection, often from HIV-positive mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. There are approximately 1.4 million children living with HIV globally.

本统计数据显示了2000年至2023年全球每年新增的HIV感染总数。联合国艾滋病规划署预测，2023年全球约有130万人新感染了HIV。全球新增HIV感染总数：人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）是一种逐渐破坏或损害人体免疫系统的疾病。它是一种逆转录病毒，疾病进程缓慢，逐步通过疾病的各个阶段。随着HIV的复制，其结构发生突变，这使得通过药物治疗难以治疗。截至2023年，全球约有3990万人携带HIV，其中约3070万人接受了抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）。治疗HIV的方法多种多样。随着固定剂量组合等联合治疗法的流行，抗病毒治疗正在逐渐减少。自2000年以来，全球新增HIV感染人数已从280万人下降至2023年的130万人。许多新感染发生在发展中国家，尤其是撒哈拉以南非洲的低收入和中收入国家。许多这类人群无法获得使HIV生活更易管理的药物或治疗。儿童也易受感染，通常在怀孕、分娩或母乳喂养期间从HIV阳性的母亲那里感染。全球约有140万名儿童携带HIV。
