6. Baseline Numbers on ART vs. Projected Need, Ages 15-24
Universal coverage = 2.6 million on ART
2.1 million
Additional 1.42 million
2020 point estimates shown. Numbers summed across 23 countries.

7. Conclusion
Adolescents and young adults account for a disproportionate number of new infections in the 23 countries
People accounted for 19% of the total population, but represented 31% of new infections as of 2014
Females in this age group at highest risk:
63% of PLHIV ages in 2014 were female
Females accounted for 64% of new HIV infections among people 15-24
Only a few countries account for the majority of PLHIV, new infections, and need for PMTCT & ART among people in our 23 country sample
ART: The number of people on ART in these 23 countries may need to quadruple from 2014 to 2020 to meet treatment targets
