Solomon Islands: Incidence of HIV, all (per 1,000 uninfected population)

Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.09 in 2024. 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 27% 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.
