5 Countries With Highest Rates of AIDS

4. Botswana 

AIDS Rate: 18.3% 

AIDS is a significant health issue in Botswana, with an estimated 18.3% prevalence of HIV, among the highest rates worldwide. The disease has a devastating impact on daily lives, leading to illness, stigma, and limited access to healthcare. Economic consequences are also significant, as high healthcare costs strain the budget with substantial investments in prevention and treatment programs. Supporting people living with HIV and addressing the economic burden remains a critical challenge for Botswana.
