HIV and AIDS are serious global public health issues. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and if not treated, can lead to AIDS. There are an estimated 37.7 million people living with HIV globally, with over two thirds located in Africa. In 2020, 680,000 people died from HIV-related causes and 1.5 million people acquired HIV. While there is no cure for HIV, with effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment including antiretroviral therapy, it can be managed as a chronic condition allowing people to live long and healthy lives.
