Extremely high rates of HIV/AIDS.

As of 2019, Eswatini has the highest prevalence of HIV among people aged 15 to 49 in the world (27.1%).


The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has identified priority and key populations as the most vulnerable to HIV infection, due to epidemiological, socioeconomic, and environmental and contextual factors.[5] In particular, PEPFAR identified three priority populations in Eswatini as the focus of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs: adolescent girls and young women (aged nine to 29), men aged 15 to 39, and orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC). PEPFAR additionally identified three key populations: men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSW), and transgender people. PEPFAR support was abruptly cut back in 2025, causing some people to go without HIV testing or treatment.[6]

In 2025, PEPFAR support was cut back as part of the second Trump Administration's dismantling of USAID.[6] Eswatini had targeted financial self-sufficiency of its HIV/AIDS response by 2030, but the abrupt cutoff resulted in staff firings and some people going without HIV testing or treatment.[6]
