HIV-diagnosed cases in major markets projected to hit 2.2 million by 2033

Japan will have the fewest cases at around 34,400.

The diagnosed prevalent cases of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the seven major markets are projected to reach approximately 2.2 million cases by 2033 at an annual rate of 0.90%  according to GlobalData.

The US is expected to account for the highest number of diagnosed cases with approximately 1.46 million. In contrast, Japan will have the fewest cases, estimated at around 34,400.

The increase in cases is attributed to a higher diagnosis rate, longer life expectancy of HIV-positive patients due to anti-retroviral treatment (ART), and changes in population dynamics, according to Casey Freimuth, Senior Epidemiologist at GlobalData.

“Future efforts to reduce the burden of HIV should involve increased attention on reducing transmission, either through PrEP or through the use of ART, in combination with education and increased access to testing,” Freimuth added.

The seven major markets include the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and Japan.
