Currently, over 48,000 people with HIV have been identified in the country.
In the past 5 years, the number of HIV tests has increased fivefold, from 700,000 to 3.5 million. The state has provided 80% of the funding for medications.
To prevent the transmission of HIV from mother to child, the country continuously provides powdered milk formulas to children born to HIV-positive mothers. As a result, 99.7% of these children are healthy, with an average of 600 cases annually.
