The epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa continues to grow, with a 10% increase in new infections and a 9% increase in the annual number of AIDS-related deaths between 2010 and 2018.

Less than half of people living with HIV are aware of their serostatus, and treatment gaps among men are larger than they are among women in many countries.
