DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Population (thousands), 2012: Estimated total population as of 2012 (in thousands). Adolescents aged 10–19 as a % of total population: Percentage of the total population that is adolescents (aged 10–19). Estimated number of adolescents living with HIV, 2012: Estimated number of children (aged 0–14) living with HIV as of 2012. Adolescents (aged 10–19) living with HIV as a % of people (all ages) living with HIV, 2012: Percentage of the estimated number of adults (aged 15+) living with HIV who are adolescents (aged 15–19) living with HIV. Number of new HIV infections among adolescents (aged 15–19), 2012: Estimated number of new HIV infections among adolescents (aged 15–19) as of 2012. Number of AIDS deaths among adolescents (aged 10–19), 2012: Estimated number of AIDS-attributed deaths among adolescents (aged 10–19) as of 2012.
MAIN DATA SOURCES
Population (thousands), 2012: United Nations Population Division, 2013. Adolescents aged 10–19 as a % of total population: United Nations Population Division, 2013. Estimated number of adolescents living with HIV, 2012: UNAIDS 2012 HIV and AIDS estimates. Adolescents (aged 10–19) living with HIV as a % of people (all ages) living with HIV, 2012: UNICEF analysis of UNAIDS 2012 HIV and AIDS estimates. Number of new HIV infections among adolescents (aged 15–19), 2012: UNAIDS 2012 HIV and AIDS estimates. Number of AIDS deaths among adolescents (aged 10–19), 2012: UNAIDS 2012 HIV and AIDS estimates.
NOTES
– Data not available. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China. ǂ Regional averages are calculated only when the population represents 50 per cent or more of the region’s total population of interest. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 2005–2006 India. Estimates from years prior to 2005 are not displayed. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. p Based on small denominators (typically 25–29 unweighted cases). No data based on fewer than 25 unweighted cases are displayed. a/ Sub-Saharan Africa includes the Sudan and Djibouti. § Current spectrum modelling software used by UNAIDS assumes HIV infections in the adolescent age group 10–14 are due to mother-to-child transmission. No other transmission routes are included in the model for this age group. Some estimates do not add up to the totals because of rounding. Low- and middle-income countries are classified as such by the World Bank as of July 2013; these countries form the basis for the data analysis in UNAIDS, UNICEF and WHO.
