Antiretroviral therapy coverage (% of people living with HIV)

This indicator represents the proportion of individuals diagnosed with HIV who are currently undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART), a critical measure in the fight against the HIV epidemic. High coverage rates signify not only access to essential health services but also reflect the effectiveness of healthcare systems in providing ongoing support and adherence to treatment protocols. Monitoring this metric is vital for evaluating progress toward global health goals, particularly the commitment to reduce new infections and improve the quality of life for those living with the virus. Moreover, understanding regional disparities in ART coverage can help target interventions and resources more effectively, ultimately paving the way for ending the AIDS pandemic as a public health threat.
