Health Indicator Report of New HIV/AIDS Diagnoses

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Currently, there is no effective cure. However, with proper medical care HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who get effective HIV treatment can live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.
In 2021, more new HIV/AIDS diagnoses were observed among those aged 25-44 years. There were more new HIV/AIDS diagnoses among males and females aged 25-34 years compared to other age groups.
