HIV & AIDS Drug Discovery
Global Statistics
36.9 million [34.3 million–41.4 million] people globally are living with HIV (end 2014)
-
Since 2000, around 38.1 million people have become infected with HIV and 25.3 million people have died of AIDS-related illnesses.
2 million [1.9 million–2.2 million] people became newly infected with HIV (end 2014)
-
New HIV infections have fallen by 35% since 2000.
1.2 million [980000–1.6 million] people died from AIDS-related illnesses (end 2014)
-
AIDS-related deaths have fallen by 42% since the peak in 2004.
-
15.8 million people accessing antiretroviral therapy (June 2015). Currently, there are an estimated 1.1 million people in the United States living with HIV
-
Each year, 50,000 people in the United States become infected with HIV.
Prevalence, Incidence, and Death Rates in USA
-
An estimated 1,155,792 Americans have HIV. About 180,900 people aged 13 and older don’t know they have it.
-
An estimated 49,273 Americans were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2011, but only 32,052 developed AIDS. This is in striking contrast to the early days of HIV/AIDS.
-
According to the American Federation of AIDS Research, of the 250,000 cases of reported AIDS cases, 200,000 already had died by 1992. By 2004, a million cases had been reported and 500,000 had died.
-
In 2010, 15,529 people accounted for 2 percent of total AIDS deaths in the U.S. So far, 636,000 people in the U.S. diagnosed with AIDS have died.
Lifetime Risk of HIV Diagnosis In USA
The study, presented on Feb 2016 at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston, provides the first-ever comprehensive national estimates of the lifetime risk of an HIV diagnosis for several key populations at risk and in every state.
CDC researchers used diagnoses and death rates from 2009-2013 to project the lifetime risk of HIV diagnosis in the United States by sex, race and ethnicity, state, and HIV risk group, assuming diagnoses rates remain constant.
Overall, the lifetime risk of HIV diagnosis in the U.S. is now 1 in 99, an improvement from a previous analysis using 2004-2005 data that reported overall risk at 1 in 78.
