Question 4 • CSD Summer 2026 Human Geography

Which of the following statements best describes the HIV/AIDS infection rate today?

Answer
A
Most people infected with HIV/AIDS live in countries outside of Africa.
B
Africa is home to 15% of the world’s population, and about 15% of people with HIV live in Africa.
C
Due to advancements in medicine, few people in the world are infected with HIV/AIDS.
D
Africa is home to less than 15% of the world’s population, and 68% of people with HIV live in Africa.

Explanation

Africa has less than 15% of the world’s population but accounts for about 68% of people living with HIV, so the infection burden is disproportionately high there. This makes D, “Africa is home to less than 15% of the world’s population, and 68% of people with HIV live in Africa,” the best answer. Advances in medicine have improved treatment, but they have not made HIV infection rare worldwide.
