NOTES

– Data not available.
† Regional data on HIV estimates and prevalence for 2010 are derived from Global HIV/AIDS Response: Epidemic update and health sector progress towards universal access, Progress Report 2011, which was released in November 2011 by the World Health Organization (WHO), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) and UNICEF. Please note that the corresponding country data are not revised in the Global HIV/AIDS Response, and therefore refer to the year 2009.
