Conclusions and Trends
Most cases of HIV are from countries or areas with
low- or middle-income regions due to
inadequate healthcare, education and cultural
circumstances
Sub-Sahara Africa is responsible for the most
amount of cases due to the fact that it was the
originating region of the virus
It continues to spread to a variety of regions due
to the lack of a cure
