Data by the National Syndemic Disease Control Council (NSDCC) reveals that at least 248 adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years are infected with HIV every week.

The new infections are an increase from 62 cases, that were reported every week, in 2021.

Women are leading in new infections with at least 12, 558 cases, 5, 122 cases in men while 4, 474 cases were reported in children aged between zero and 14 years.
