In 2017, it was estimated that about 27,000 adults and children were living with HIV in Kazakhstan, according to UNAIDS. In total, the HIV rate impacted about 0.2% of the adult population. Furthermore, it was estimated that about 43% of adults living with HIV were on ART (i.e. treatment), and a large percentage of people with HIV received a late HIV diagnosis.<ref>[http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/kazakhstan UNAIDS: Country factsheets, KAZAKHSTAN 2017]</ref> This means that, while HIV rates are still rather low in the country, there is a need for a higher rate of testing, treatment, and education. | |||
