Adult prevalence of diagnosed infectious diseases by country 2019
HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is one of the most well-known infectious diseases worldwide. There are currently almost 38 million people worldwide living with HIV and it is responsible for just under a million deaths per year. HIV treatment has improved dramatically over the last few decades but access to treatment varies. The poorer regions of the world still suffer disproportionately from HIV with the majority of those infected living in Africa.
Tuberculosis
Like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis also impacts the poorer regions of the world more than developed nations. Tuberculosis impacts the lungs of those infected and is currently the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. The countries with the highest incidence rates of tuberculosis include India, China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In India alone tuberculosis was responsible for around 440,000 deaths in 2018.
