Rest of the World
The proportion of people living with HIV who are adult women (ages 15 to 49) is 1.9 times higher in sub-Saharan Africa than in other regions.
In sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV is spread predominantly through heterosexual activity, women account for more than half of the 24.5 million people living with HIV. In other regions, the proportion of people living with HIV who are women drops to an average of around one-third.

13. Adults with HIV Who are Women
2005
Percent
Women make up almost one-half of HIV-infections worldwide and 59 percent of infections in sub-Saharan Africa, where the virus is spread predominantly through heterosexual transmission and has reached the general population. In a generalized epidemic, women’s low status and inability to negotiate with men puts them at great risk of contracting the disease.
Women account for smaller percentages of infected people where the AIDS epidemic is limited to high-risk populations such as injecting drug users or men having sex with men.

15. Effect of AIDS on Life Expectancy 2015-2020
Projections for Selected Countries
Life expectancy at birth, in years
AIDS has reduced life expectancy in several countries around the world.
In Lesotho, for example, without accounting for the impact of AIDS, life expectancy would have been 69 years; however, with AIDS, life expectancy has dropped to 39 years.
