Country With Highest HIV Rate
Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, stands out as the country with the highest HIV rate, reporting a prevalence of 19.58%. Several factors contribute to this statistic. Firstly, Eswatini has a high prevalence of multiple sexual partners and low rates of consistent condom use, increasing the risk of HIV transmission. Additionally, cultural norms and gender inequalities play a significant role in the epidemic, with practices such as polygamy and intergenerational relationships leading to a higher likelihood of HIV transmission. Limited access to healthcare, including HIV testing, prevention, and treatment services, exacerbates the situation. Stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS further hinder progress in addressing the epidemic. These factors collectively contribute to Eswatini’s high HIV rate.
