The burden of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia: Unveiling 30 years of trends in incidence, mortality, and disability—insights from the Global Burden of Disease study (1990–2021)
Ethiopia accounts for 1.8% of the global HIV/AIDS prevalence. While significant progress has been made in recent years, sustained efforts are necessary to further reduce the burden of the disease. The disproportionate impact on females and the Gambela region underscores persistent disparities in prevention and care. To achieve equitable health outcomes across the country, it is crucial to implement targeted, evidence-based interventions that address these gaps in the HIV/AIDS response.
