Asia and the Pacific

The HIV epidemic, as well as the progress in HIV intervention and prevention, in Asia and the Pacific varies greatly within the region and by country. Asia and the Pacific is generally considered to include countries near the Western Pacific Ocean and typically includes East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. The region as a whole accounts for the second highest HIV prevalence in the world with 5.1 million people living with HIV, while India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world with 2.1 million people living with HIV (UNAIDS, 2017). Table 4.3 demonstrates the state of the HIV epidemic in Asia and the Pacific as a whole as well compared with India, as well as the challenges faced throughout the region in providing antiretroviral treatment (UNAIDS, 2017).Table 4.32016 regional HIV and AIDS data for Asia and the Pacific and India
