Human Immunodeficiency Virus--HIV

Studies investigating a correlation between economic status of household (wealth or income) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence have shown relationships ranging from insignificant to strong-positive. Using data from over 400,000 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) respondents in 29 African low- and middle-income countries receiving assistance from the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), this study was conducted on HIV prevalence as it relates to wealth and wealth inequality.
