The latest statistics on AIDS infections in Iran
According to the latest statistics from last year, the number of identified patients was about 25,000.
Ladan Abasian, Head of the AIDS Research Center of Iran:
According to the latest statistics from last year, the number of identified patients was about 25 thousand, and the estimated number of patients who are believed to be HIV positive is 45 thousand; this means that we have identified more than 50 percent of the patients estimated to be HIV positive. However, when patients are identified, they usually refer to successful HIV control programs in Iran, visit treatment centers, and receive treatment, leading to their viral load reaching zero./ILNA
