ABSTRACT Eighteen countries have a "low" or "lower-middle" income level, plus an adult HIV infection rate above 1%, and have not yet received a Global Fund grant for HIV/AIDS.

Aidspan has conducted an analysis of all countries that meet any of the following criteria:

  • Poor: Income level is “Low” or “Lower-middle”
  • High prevalence: Adult HIV infection rate is above 1%
  • No grant: Did not yet receive a Global Fund grant for HIV/AIDS

Eighteen countries meet all three criteria. They are listed in the following table.
