Almost 21 million lives saved with antiretroviral therapy

Two decades ago, life-saving HIV treatment was almost unobtainable in low- and middle-income countries. The provision of effective treatment has reduced numbers of AIDS-related deaths globally by 52%—from 1.3 million [970 000–1.8 million] in 2010 to 630 000 [480 000–880 000] in 2022. Improved access to treatment has averted an estimated 20.8 million deaths globally.
