Modelled estimates. The shaded area is the published uncertainty interval around the number of people living with HIV, because a single estimate without the interval would overstate the precision of the model.

Every line is a percentage of all people living with HIV, so the three lines share a denominator and can be compared directly. Viral suppression in the figure is the share of all people living with HIV who are virally suppressed, and not the narrower third 95 target, which counts only people on treatment.
