Statistics

Available statistics related to HIV/AIDS for every country and territory of the world are published annually in UNICEF's flagship publication, The State of the World’s Children, and the UNAIDS flagship publication which is the Report on The Global AIDS Epidemic and the AIDS Epidemic Update. You can access these from the 'By country' link on the left.

The 'Global statistics' link, also left, provides a snapshot of the key global HIV/AIDS statistics including HIV infections, mother-to-child transmission and deaths.

HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base
Information on the AIDS pandemic and on the HIV seroprevalence (infection) in population groups in developing countries is only available in widely scattered small-scale surveys. The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base was developed and is maintained by the Health Studies Branch, International Programs Center (IPC), Population Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census, with funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development. It is a compilation of information from those studies appearing in the medical and scientific literature, presented at international conferences, and appearing in the press. The data base was developed on the microcomputer for portability and has a user-friendly interface. Available information for population groups in a selected country can be easily retrieved and displayed on the computer screen, printed in tabular format, or saved to an ASCII or Lotus file.

The data base is updated twice a year. The International Programs Center welcomes comments and suggestions from users of the data base. IPC also welcomes copies of articles or references to information which may have been overlooked.

UNAIDS/WHO Global HIV/AIDS Online Database
This database collates the most recent country-specific data on the spread and impact of the virus, together with information on risk behaviours (e.g. casual sex and condom use). Health sector response information (eg. data on people receiving treatment and coverage of HIV counselling and testing) is also an essential part of this database.
