Sub-Saharan Africa has been the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic since its emergence in the 1980s. According to UNAIDS, in 2019, 67% of people living with HIV were in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as 3 out of 4 new HIV infections. The region has been disproportionately affected by HIV due to factors such as poverty, gender inequality, and lack of access to healthcare and education.
