In 2022, around .3 out of 100 thousand Canadians died from HIV. In 2000, the death rate stood at approximately 1.7 deaths per 100,000. This statistic displays the age-standardized death rates in Canada for HIV from 2000 to 2022.
HIV in Canada
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a contagious virus that weakens the body’s immune system. Without treatment, over time the damage caused by the virus can progress to AIDS, where the body is unable to fight other infections, leading to death. In Canada, the number of newly reported cases of HIV has fluctuated between around 1,500 and 2,500 per year over the past twenty years, with the rate of reported cases around 3.85 per 100,000 population in 2021.
HIV worldwide
Although the number of people living with HIV is rising worldwide, the number of new HIV infections has decreased by nearly half in the past twenty years. This is due to better treatment, especially antiretroviral therapy, which allows those with HIV to live longer, healthier lives. Global health organizations have established strategies to try to eliminate AIDS as a public health threat, focusing mostly on increasing awareness and early identification of cases, providing methods to avoid passing on the virus, as well as providing treatment with the goal of viral suppression. Although there is no known cure, the majority of the funding for HIV/AIDS research and development over recent years has been provided for further work on creating HIV vaccines.
