Interactive: India ranks third in the world for highest number of deaths caused by AIDS

India has the third highest number of deaths due to AIDS, in the world.


This figure is small compared to most other middle-income countries, but because of India’s huge population (1.2 billion) this equates to 2.1 million people living with HIV. In the same year, an estimated 68,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses.


These numbers put India in the same league as Congo, Nigeria and Mozambique.
