2024 UNAIDS regional rates, percent of adults aged 15 to 49 living with HIV.
Adult HIV prevalence is compared across UNAIDS regions in 2024 using the percent of adults aged 15 to 49 living with HIV. The chart uses eight regional rows plus a global benchmark from the same UNAIDS estimates release. Eastern and southern Africa was highest at 5.5%, compared with a 0.7% global rate. The top regional prevalence was 7.9 times the global benchmark, a 4.8-percentage-point gap.

Evidence: Supports the 2024 adult HIV prevalence values by UNAIDS region and the global benchmark.
The Middle East and North Africa row keeps the source display value of <0.1%. Values are UNAIDS estimates, so official_final_only is false.
Uses UNAIDS 2025 estimates for 2024 regional adult HIV prevalence. Bars are percentage values for adults aged 15 to 49; the benchmark comparison uses the global prevalence value supplied in the same source release.
All eight regional rows and the global benchmark use the same UNAIDS 2025 release, 2024 period and percent unit.
