Zambia

Zambia has an estimated HIV prevalence rate of 14.3% among adults with one million Zambians living with HIV. Of the 330,000 in need of antiretroviral treatment, only 46% were receiving it at the end of 2007. Treatment access is much lower among children.

HIV in Zambia is mainly transmitted through unprotected sex. The epidemic is fuelled by multiple concurrent partnerships and transactional, commercial and intergenerational sex.
