The previous section took the discussion forward by placing the impact of HIV/ AIDS in context, exploring causes of large reversals in life expectancy or comparing the burden of disease from HIV/AIDS with that from other diseases. The present section analyses some of the health and demographic consequences of HIV/AIDS in more detail, with an emphasis on consequences of HIV/AIDS relevant from an economic perspective. To this end, it is necessary to explore specific country data and estimates in more detail.
25 per cent. 4 per cent, in 2003, when it accounted for almost one-third of all deaths, but has since declined to around 33,000 in 2014, with one in eight deaths attributed to HIV/AIDS, partly reflecting the step increase in access to treatment in recent years—as of the end of 2014, 755,000 Kenyans living with HIV were receiving treatment. 6 per cent of the population (ages 15–49) in 2014. HIV transmission is mainly heterosexual, but the country is also experiencing a serious HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men, who account for 4 per cent of the male population but close to one-third of all HIV infections (JNHP, 2012).
These two factors have resulted in a considerable shift in the age distribution of people living with HIV. Between 2000 and 2014, the average age of a person living with HIV in Botswana increased by about six years, from 33 years to 39 years for men, and from 32 years to 39 years for women. This means that people living with HIV now are much older on average than the adult population (aged 15+) overall—HIV/AIDS in Botswana has turned into an epidemic primarily affecting older adults. As the two factors underlying this trend (declining HIV incidence, and substantial progress in extending access to treatment) can be observed in many other countries, this case study illustrates a trend that can be observed globally.
