What the numbers say
In 2024, Antigua and Barbuda's incidence of HIV, ages 15-24 (per 1,000 uninfected population ages 15-24) fell 0.01 on 2023 (from 0.53 to 0.52).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.007 and a typical year strayed about 0.0075 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.02 in 1998 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.01 in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 12% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
