It has been more than 40 years since the first HIV cases were reported in the early 1980s. Potent and effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) is now the cornerstone for minimising HIV-related morbidity and mortality, and for suppressing the transmission risk.

In 2024, the estimated global number of people living with HIV (PLWH) was 40.8 million, including 1.3 million new infections, with 31.6 million people on ART (77% coverage among PLWH). Compared to 2010 (the baseline global targets), the annual number of HIV-related deaths in 2024 was 54% lower, and new infections was 40% less.

Geographically, the coverage of ART and the reduction of HIV-related deaths (2024 vs. 2010) were uneven, but there was a consistent pattern of reduced HIV-related deaths and higher ART coverage. The bivariate choropleth map shows that no reporting countries are in the class of a high (above 80%) ART coverage but an increase in deaths. In 2024, around 60% of the reporting countries have achieved 40-79% ART coverage, and almost 90% reported a reduction in annual deaths, compared with 2010 (countries in yellow for <20% reduction, and in green for 20% or more reduction). Most reporting countries in Africa are either in green or mint green, illustrating high ART coverage and a reduction of annual deaths. However, the areas in red, such as Sudan, Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, had less than 40% ART coverage and increased deaths, suggesting the need for urgent scale-up of ART provision.

1 December is World AIDS Day, the day that we commemorate and raise public awareness of HIV and AIDS. Continuous support from the communities is important to sustain the achievements that have been made in the past decades.

自80年代初首次報告愛滋病毒(HIV)感染病例以來，至今已有40多年。強效抗病毒療法（ART）是降低HIV相關發病率和死亡率、抑制傳播風險的基石。

2024年，全球HIV感染者估計達4,080萬人，其中包括130萬新增感染者，3,160萬人正在接受 ART（覆蓋率達77%）。 2024年的HIV相關死亡人數比2010年（全球目標基準年）減少54%，新增感染人數減少40%。

雖然2024年ART的覆蓋率和HIV相關死亡人數的減少情況（2024年與2010年相比）在地理分佈來看並不平均，但死亡人數的減少與ART覆蓋率的提高呈現出一致的趨勢。二元分區著色圖顯示，並沒有報告國家處於ART覆蓋率超過80%但死亡人數增加的類別。約60%的報告國家在2024年實現了40-79%的ART覆蓋率，而其中近90%與2010年相比，年度死亡人數有所減少（黃色代表減少不足20%，綠色代表減少20%或以上）。大多數非洲報告國家為綠色或薄荷綠，顯示其ART覆蓋率高且年度死亡人數有所減少。然而，紅色區域，例如蘇丹、剛果共和國、巴基斯坦和阿富汗，ART覆蓋率低於40%，且死亡人數比2010更多，顯示需要擴大ART覆蓋範圍。

12月1日是世界愛滋病日，旨在提高大眾對愛滋病毒和愛滋病的認識。社區的持續支持對於鞏固過去幾十年來所取得的成就至關重要。
