According to UNAIDS, in 2019, 38 million people were living with HIV/AIDS, and almost 67% of them were in sub-Saharan Africa. Among those living with HIV, young people between the ages of 15 and 24 accounted for a sizable portion of new infections. In 2019, around 1.7 million people worldwide became newly infected with HIV, and of those, 62% were young adults aged 15 to 24 who did not know they were infected. Therefore, young adults who do not know they are infected are the majority of those infected with HIV. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the majority of people living with HIV are between the ages of 15 and 49 years old. Among this group, many do not know that they are infected with the virus, which makes early detection and treatment crucial.
