In 2018, 540,000 people were living with HIV and the prevalence among adults (15–49 years) was 3.6%. Moreover, the incidence among all people of all ages in Cameroon is 1.02% in 2018. In Sub Saharan Africa, the incidence (new infections per 1,000 of population) among adults (15–49 years) declined from 3.39 in 2010, 2.49 in 2015 to 2.14 in 2017 and globally for adults it also declined from 0.44 to 0.40 between 2015 and 2017. 639:

Furthermore, structural barriers to maternal healthare make the delivery of public health interventions to improve these rates challenging.
