Lesotho

Lesotho appears only through international and donor bodies that compile figures across many countries, and no figures for the country are read directly from a national publisher. PEPFAR's results for the country are broken down by province and count only the sites PEPFAR supports. The assessment of national sources, country by country, is set out on the Methods page.

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.

Data-quality flags on Lesotho

Voluntary medical male circumcisions performed, 2020 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 28,619 in 2019 to 7,728 in 2020, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 28,619 to 7,728 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2019 and 2020 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2019 and 2020.

People who completed a course of TB preventive therapy, 2019 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 1,137 in 2018 to 7,723 in 2019, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 1,137 to 7,723 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2018 and 2019 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2018 and 2019.

People who completed a course of TB preventive therapy, 2020 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 7,723 in 2019 to 50,636 in 2020, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 7,723 to 50,636 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2019 and 2020 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2019 and 2020.

People who completed a course of TB preventive therapy, 2021 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 50,636 in 2020 to 12,603 in 2021, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 50,636 to 12,603 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2020 and 2021 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2020 and 2021.
