- Description
- HIV remains the greatest public health and socio-economic development challenge for Eswatini. While the data suggest that the rate of new infections is stabilizing, at 27% adult prevalence, Eswatini continues to shoulder the world�s highest HIV burden. The country�s epidemic is highly generalized with insignificant regional differences and only slight variances between urban and rural populations. An estimated 207,000 people live with HIV in Eswatini. Eswatini�s HIV epidemic shows a stark gender differential, with women carrying the largest burden of disease. Eswatini also has the highest HIV-TB and HIV-cervical cancer co-infection rate in the world. Gender-based inequalities, violence, poverty and income disparities persist in the country and create significant barriers to effective HIV prevention interventions and the up-take of care and treatment services. Economic growth and development have been deeply impacted by the health crisis. In contrast to the growth take-off experienced by many Sub-Saharan countries, Eswatini has consistently ranked among the lowest in terms of economic growth in the region in recent years.
