The HIV rate map, and the countries it cannot colour

UNAIDS adult prevalence, ages 15-49, mapped for 145 countries. 24 of the 110 markets this site prices have no estimate at all.

World choropleth of adult HIV prevalence, ages 15-49, shaded in six log-spaced bands, with grey for the countries UNAIDS does not model

Bands are log-spaced because published prevalence runs 0.1% to 23.4%: on a linear ramp every country outside eastern and southern Africa lands in one pale band. Grey is no UNAIDS estimate, which is not the same as a low one.

What the chart says

  1. Prevalence is a stock, not a transmission rate. South Africa reads 17.2% with 81% of patients on treatment. The Philippines reads 0.3% with 40% on treatment and new infections still climbing. The lower number is the less settled one.
  2. Grey is not zero. UNAIDS models 145 countries. The USA, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Russia, China and Turkey are not among them, so 24 of the 110 markets on this site carry no estimate in either direction.

All 169

Every country UNAIDS models, ascending by prevalence, plus the markets we price that it does not model.

Ages 15-49 and modelled, not this site's 20-39 band. UNAIDS publishes "<0.1" as 0.1, so 38 countries tie at the floor; ties break on new infections, never on an invented decimal. 83 of 145 countries sit at or under 0.5%.

Where this is wrong

Sources

WHO Global Health Observatory, republishing UNAIDS estimates: MDG_0000000029 (adult prevalence 15-49), SDGHIV (new infections per 1,000 uninfected, by sex), HIV_ARTCOVERAGE (antiretroviral coverage). Built by geomax/build_hiv.py.

Prevalence, new infections and treatment coverage are sortable next to sex ratio, cost and safety on the research desk.

Prevalence, new infections and treatment coverage as columns you can sort and slice across 200+ cities.

The per-market deep-dives — 13 tabs of cost, visa, tax, safety and sub-national ratio for one country — are behind the Pro gate. Everything on this page is not.
