What the numbers say
In 2024, Peru's women's share of population ages 15+ living with HIV (%) fell 0.06 percentage points on 2023 (from 22.45% to 22.39%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.51 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.32 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.95 percentage points in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.08 percentage points in 2022. 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 18% 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.

What this measures
Prevalence of HIV is the percentage of people who are infected with HIV. Female rate is as a percentage of the total population ages 15+ who are living with HIV.
Limitations: The limited availability of data on health status is a major constraint in assessing the health situation in developing countries. Surveillance data are lacking for many major public health concerns. Estimates of prevalence and incidence are available for some diseases but are often unreliable and incomplete. National health authorities differ widely in capacity and willingness to collect or report information.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
