The gaps in HIV responses and resulting HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths lie upon faultlines of inequality.
Data from 46 countries in sub-Saharan Africa show a positive relationship between HIV prevalence and income disparity. After controlling for education, gender inequality and income per capita, a one-point increase in a country's 20:20 ratio-which compares how much richer the top 20% of a given population is to the bottom 20% of that population-corresponds to a two-point increase in HIV prevalence.
