9. Global Prevalence of HIV by nation
Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa is by far the region most-affected by the AIDS epidemic. The region has just over 10% of the world's population, but is home to 68% of all people living with HIV. An estimated 1.8 million adults and children became infected with HIV during contributing to a total of 22.5 million people living with HIV in the region. Adult HIV prevalence varies considerably across sub-Saharan Africa - from 0.2% in Madagascar to almost 26% in Swaziland.
An estimated 1.3 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses in Antiretroviral therapy has had a significant impact on the number of deaths from AIDS; in Southern Africa alone the scale-up of treatment contributed to an 18% decline in AIDS-related deaths between 2004 and The scale-up of PMTCT programmes has also contributed to a decline in the number of new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths among children.
Women are particularly affected by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Southern Africa accounts for around 40% of the global total of women living with HIV. An estimated 1.4 million people were living with HIV in Central and South America at the end of Although the number of people living with HIV continues to increase, the number of people newly infected with HIV appears to be decreasing slightly. Around 92,000 people became newly infected with HIV in 2009, 7,000 less than Around 58,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in 2009 in the region.
Adult HIV prevalence in most countries is below 1%. Find out more about HIV in the Americas.

10. Until recently it was thought that India was home to around 5
Until recently it was thought that India was home to around 5.7 million people living with HIV - more than any other country in the world. In July 2007 this estimate was revised to between 2 million and 3.1 million, based on better data and the results of a national household survey.
Because of the major revision of the Indian estimate, the number of people living with HIV in Asia is now thought to be substantially less than the figure published by UNAIDS in late The current estimate is around 4.9 million.
National adult prevalence is still under 1% in the majority of this region's countries. However some Asian countries are very large and national averages may obscure serious epidemics in some smaller provinces and states. Although national adult HIV prevalence in India, for example, is below 1%, some states have an estimated prevalence well above this level. Other countries with large numbers of people living with HIV include China(740,000), Thailand (530,000) and Viet Nam (280,000).

11. Around 17,000 people were newly infected with HIV in the Caribbean during ,000 less than The number of new infections has been declining slightly, but the total number of people living with HIV in the region has remained relatively stable. By the end of ,000 people were living with HIV - an adult prevalence of 1.0%.
The AIDS epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is rapidly expanding. Some 130,000 people were infected with HIV in 2009, bringing the total number of people living with the virus to around 1.4 million. In 2009 an estimated 76,000 people died from AIDS-related illness, four times the number in 2001.
Worst affected countries are the Russian Federation and Ukraine, but HIV continues to spread in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. It is now estimated that around 980,000 people are living with HIV in the Russian Federation

12. The notion that this region has been largely unaffected by the global epidemic is not supported by the latest estimates, which indicate that 75,000 people acquired HIV in 2009, bringing the total number of people living with HIV and AIDS in the Middle East and North Africa to an estimated 460,000. In 2009 an estimated 23,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses, an increase from 8,300 in 2001.
Although reliable data are difficult to obtain, it appears North Africa and the Middle East are the only regions which have seen significant increases in the number of adults and children living with HIV, number of people newly infected with HIV and deaths due to AIDS-related illnesses.
The total number of people living with HIV continues to rise in higher-income countries, largely due to widespread access to antiretroviral therapy, which prolongs the lives of those living with HIV. It is estimated that 2.3 million people are living with HIV in North America and Western and Central Europe, an increase from 1.8 million in In these two regions, a total of 35,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in The number of people living with HIV in Oceania almost doubled from 28,000 in 2001 to 57,000 in 2009.
In recent years there has been a significant increase in new infections among men who have sex with men in higher-income countries. In both North America and Western and Central Europe women account for less than a third of all people living with HIV.
