HIV/AIDS remains a critical health challenge in Botswana. Join us in the fight to reduce its impact.
Botswana
HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in Botswana, accounting for 32% of all deaths annually. Approximately 350,000 people are currently living with HIV/AIDS, representing 22.2% of the population. The prevalence among adults aged 15-49 is also 22.2%, with women disproportionately affected (58%). Heterosexual transmission is the most common mode of infection. Despite the challenges, the Botswana government is committed to fighting this epidemic and has made significant progress. However, sustained efforts are crucial.
