Yearly data from 1990 to 2024, from the World Bank.

| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 200 | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 100 | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 200 | 2014 |
| Highest | 1,200 | 1998 |
| Lowest | 100 | 2019 |
| Average since 2015 | 180 | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 500 | 1990 |
Over five years it is up 100% from 100 in 2019 (14.87% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is down 60% from 500 in 1990 (2.66% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Mauritania's adults (ages 15-49) newly infected with HIV did not change 0% on 2023 (from 200 to 200).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −1.3% and a typical year strayed about 24.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 100% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 60% in 2010. 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 less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Mauritania had the 96th highest value of the 132 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
