56 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from HIV / AIDS | Our World in Data, published by ourworldindata.org. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 36 of the 56 pairs (64.3%) are explanatory questions and 20 restate a figure. 92.86% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| What does the death rate represent in relation to HIV/AIDS? | the number of deaths from HIV/AIDS per 100,000 individuals | On this interactive map, we see the share of deaths that resulted from HIV/AIDS across the world. Across most regions, the share was low: across Europe, for example, it accounted for less than 0.1% of deaths. the share is very high across some countries – focused primarily in Southern Sub-Saharan Africa. The significant health burden of HIV/AIDS across Sub-Saharan Africa is also reflected in death rates. Death rates measure the number of deaths from HIV/AIDS per 100,000 individuals in a country or region. In the interactive map, we see the distribution of death rates worldwide. Most countries have a rate of less than 10 deaths per 100,000 – often much lower, below 5 per 100,000. Across Europe, the death rate is less than one per 100,000. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, the rates are much higher. Some countries in the South of the region have rates greater than 100 per 100,000. | 428 | definition | 1.000 | Death rates measure the number of deaths from HIV/AIDS per 100,000 individuals in a country or region. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |
| What is the purpose of antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women infected with HIV? | to prevent the transmission from mother to child | This map shows the share of pregnant women infected with HIV who receive antiretroviral therapy – a vital intervention to prevent the transmission from mother to child. The majority of HIV infections are transmitted through sexual activity. Sexual transmission can be prevented through condom use (both in heterosexual and homosexual relationships). In the charts here, we see the prevalence of condom use, particularly in cases of “high-risk sex”, which is defined by this data’s source as non-marital, non-cohabiting sexual partner. Several sources publish estimates on HIV and AIDS. Two of the most established sources, presented on this page, are UNAIDS and the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). The charts below show a comparison of these two sources' estimates. The latest study can be found at the website of the Lancet here:TheLancet.com/GBD Greig, A. Peacock, D. | 119 | definition | 1.000 | This map shows the share of pregnant women infected with HIV who receive antiretroviral therapy – a vital intervention to prevent the transmission from mother to child. | p[39] | 0.700 | ||
| What is mother-to-child transmission of HIV? | transmission has typically occurred from the mother either during pregnancy or childbirth or through breastfeeding | The reasons for differences in prevalence and death rates are complex; however, across Sub-Saharan Africa, women tend to be infected with HIV earlier than men and survive longer (explaining both the higher prevalence and lower annual AIDS deaths in women). Several gender inequality and social norm issues result in a higher prevalence of HIV in females across many countries; women are at greater risk when they have a limited role in sexual decision-making and protection, lower rates of sexual education, and higher rates of transactional sex2. When children are infected with HIV, transmission has typically occurred from the mother either during pregnancy or childbirth or through breastfeeding. This is called mother-to-child-transmission, or MTCT. This map shows the total number of children aged 14 and under living with HIV. | 585 | definition | 0.980 | When children are infected with HIV, transmission has typically occurred from the mother either during pregnancy or childbirth or through breastfeeding. | p[30] | 0.700 | valid | |
| What is antiretroviral therapy (ART) used for? | suppressing the virus from multiplying in the body | The charts here show the number of TB patients who tested positive for HIV, the number receiving antiretroviral therapy, and the number of TB-related deaths among those living with HIV. A couple of decades ago, the chances of surviving more than ten years with HIV were slim. Today, thanks to antiretroviral therapy (ART), people with HIV/AIDS can expect to live long lives. ART is a long-term medical treatment for HIV/AIDS. It works by suppressing the virus from multiplying in the body. This keeps the infection under control and helps to prevent the disease from progressing. ART is essential in progressing against HIV/AIDS because it saves lives, allows people with HIV to live longer, and prevents new HIV infections.
