About
This data product provides detailed metrics concerning the size of the HIV epidemic and the subsequent response efforts, sourced directly from the World Health Organization (WHO). It includes both the most recent statistics and historical information, allowing for in-depth analysis of trends over time. The primary focus is on the estimated number of people of all ages living with HIV, offering analysts and researchers critical data for understanding the global impact of the epidemic.
Columns (19 total)
The data file contains 19 columns, detailing the metric, temporal, and geographical dimensions of the epidemic estimates:
- GHO (CODE) & GHO (DISPLAY): Identifies the specific global health observatory indicator, which in this case is the estimated number of people (all ages) living with HIV.
- PUBLISHSTATE (CODE) & PUBLISHSTATE (DISPLAY): Indicates the publication status, consistently marked as 'Published' throughout the records.
- YEAR (CODE) & YEAR (DISPLAY): Provides the specific year the data applies to.
- REGION (CODE) & REGION (DISPLAY): Identifies the seven distinct geographic regions, including a 'Global' rollup category.
- Display Value: Presents the estimated number along with the uncertainty interval (e.g., 3 900 000 [1-4]).
- Numeric: The central numerical estimate of the people living with HIV.
- Low: The lower bound of the estimation interval.
- High: The upper bound of the estimation interval.
- GHO (URL), PUBLISHSTATE (URL), YEAR (URL), REGION (URL), StdErr, StdDev, Comments: These fields are present but contain entirely null or missing values across all records.
Distribution
The data is delivered in a single CSV file, named HIV_0000000001(1).csv, with a file size of 71.07 kB. It contains 19 distinct columns and 231 individual records or rows, each representing a published measurement point for the specified indicator across different years and regions.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Global health policy formulation and monitoring.
- Tracking the long-term historical trajectory of the HIV epidemic and response efforts.
- Statistical analysis and modelling of infectious disease spread and population health impacts.
- Regional comparisons of epidemic size and progress.
Coverage
The data provides world-wide coverage, encompassing historical and recent figures for all countries globally. The temporal scope spans from the earliest records in 1990 up to the most recent data point available in 2022. Geographic segmentation includes seven distinct regions plus a global aggregate view.
