ART: antiretroviral therapy; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; UNAIDS: Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.

a Derived by extrapolation from UNAIDS estimates of number of adults living with HIV and adult prevalence of HIV.7,8

b UNAIDS 2019 estimates.7,8

c Calculated from number of adults receiving ART as a proportion of number of adults living with HIV.

d Calculated by subtracting number of people receiving ART from total population.

e Calculated by subtracting number of people receiving ART from number of people living with HIV.

f Calculated from number of people living with HIV not receiving ART as a percentage of total population not receiving ART.
