A study published in the “Lancet HIV” journal on the 25th showed a sharp drop in the global HIV infection rate and related death rates. Data show that from 2010 to 2021, the number of new HIV infections worldwide dropped by nearly 22%, and the number of AIDS-related deaths dropped by nearly 40%. The study was conducted by the Institute for Health Statistics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, USA, and surveyed 204 countries and regions around the world. The study found that between 2010 and 2021, the number of new HIV infections worldwide dropped from 2.11 million to 1.65 million, a decrease of 21.9%. The number of AIDS-related deaths fell from 1.19 million to 718,000, a decrease of 39.7%. Research shows that sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are the regions where HIV incidence and death rates have dropped the most. From 2010 to 2021, the incidence of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa fell by 35% and the death rate by 43.2%; in South Asia, the HIV incidence rate fell by 35.4% and the death rate by 61.6%.
