How many people in a country live with HIV — the UNAIDS and WHO estimate in absolute numbers.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2022 to 2024.
Top-20 · people
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The estimated number of people of all ages living with HIV at the end of the year. The estimate is built by UNAIDS from sentinel surveillance data, population surveys and treatment registers, so this is not the number of people diagnosed but the calculated number of carriers: some of them do not know their status. Absolute numbers and the share of the population diverge widely — the countries largest by number of carriers and the countries with the highest prevalence barely overlap.
Important: An estimate, not a count. UNAIDS attaches an uncertainty interval to every value, sometimes a wide one; the central estimate is taken here.
The share of people aged 15–49 living with HIV.
Diseases 1990–2024 New HIV infectionsHow many people are infected with HIV in a year — per 1,000 uninfected people aged 15–49.
Diseases 2000–2024 HIV-related deathsHow many people died during the year of causes related to HIV.
Diseases 2000–2024 Tuberculosis casesHow many people fall ill with tuberculosis in a year — the WHO estimate in absolute numbers.
