Socio‐demographic and geographic disparities in HIV prevalence, HIV testing and treatment coverage: An analysis of 108 national household surveys in 33 African countries
Disparities in HIV outcomes are strongly associated with differences in education, and across districts of the same country. Higher education levels are associated with lower HIV prevalence, greater testing and higher ART coverage, while districts with limited services sustain higher population viraemia. Despite the scale-up of HIV prevention and treatment programmes, important disparities remain, and renewed education-centred and geographically targeted efforts are needed to close gaps.
