The aim of this study was to use data from the United Nations Global Indicators Database to analyze the trends in the HIV incidence rate among women in sub-Saharan African countries between 2000 and 2017. The HIV incidence rate is defined as the number of new HIV infections per 1,000 uninfected population, aged 15 to 49 years old. Joinpoint regression analysis was applied to identify periods when there were significant changes in the HIV incidence rate. The results show that there was a global decrease trend in the HIV incidence rates among women in sub-Saharan Africa, decreasing in all sub-Saharan African countries, except in Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan, which have remained the same, and Madagascar, where the overall trend is increasing. The joinpoint regression statistical method offers an in-depth analysis of the incidence of HIV among women in sub-Saharan Africa.
本研究的目的是利用联合国全球指标数据库的数据,分析2000年至2017年撒哈拉以南非洲国家女性艾滋病毒发病率的趋势。艾滋病毒发病率的定义是每1000名15至49岁未感染人群中的新艾滋病毒感染人数。采用连接点回归分析来确定艾滋病毒发病率发生显著变化的时期。结果表明,撒哈拉以南非洲地区女性的艾滋病毒发病率呈全球下降趋势,除安哥拉、赤道几内亚和苏丹保持不变,以及马达加斯加总体呈上升趋势外,所有撒哈拉以南非洲国家的发病率均有所下降。连接点回归统计方法对撒哈拉以南非洲地区女性艾滋病毒的发病率进行了深入分析。
