The PACT Commissions an Investigative Report to Examine the Poor Treatment of Young Africans Living with HIV

Sub-Saharan Africa has remained the most-affected region, recording not only the highest prevalence and deaths but also the greatest number of new infections. Over two-thirds of people living with HIV across the world are in Africa and nearly two-thirds of new infections are from the continent. Meanwhile, paying attention to minority groups is critical to ending the epidemic. According to WHO, key populations and their sexual partners accounted for over half of all new infections in Africa in 2018, especially in West and Central Africa where the figure was as high as 64 per cent.
