Other small states: Incidence of HIV, ages 15-24 (per 1,000 uninfected population ages 15-24)

Key figures

Since 1990 it is up 4.44% from 1.12 in 1990 (0.13% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 21 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Other small states' incidence of HIV, ages 15-24 (per 1,000 uninfected population ages 15-24) fell 0.09 on 2023 (from 1.26 to 1.17).

Across the 11 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2023), the average change was +0.52 and a typical year strayed about 0.62 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations below 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 1.35 in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.32 in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
