Haiti: Children (ages 0-14) newly infected with HIV

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Haiti's children (ages 0-14) newly infected with HIV rose 10% on 2023 (from 1,000 to 1,100).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −2.7% and a typical year strayed about 13% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 25% in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 35.6% in 2012. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 36 a year. A straight line explains 61% of the movement over 10 observed years.
