Question

How do the HIV/Aids pandemic statistics vary around the world?

Answer 1

Answer:

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (Autoimmune deficiency syndrome) and reduces the ability of body to fight infection.

HIV was first found in 1959 in a man from Democratic Republic of the Congo and then announced as a world pandemic by WHO.

Approximately 37.9 million people were infected with HIV globally in 2018 but the pandemic statistics vary around the world. Sub-Saharan Africa was most infected region from HIV in 2018 where 61% population was infected from HIV/AIDS. In South & South-East Asia, about 12% of all people infected with HIV in 2010.

Now WHO announced HIV as 'global epidemic".
