File:Ryan White.jpg, who died from AIDS in 1990, is the namesake for U.S. federal legislation that addresses the unmet health needs of persons infected with HIV/AIDS. He is the poster boy for HIV/AIDS.]]
This is a categorized, alphabetical list of people who are known to have been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the pathogen that causes AIDS, including those who have died. AIDS is a pandemic.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, 84.2 million [64.0–113.0 million] people have been infected with the HIV virus and about 40.1 million [33.6–48.6 million] people have died of HIV.
Globally, 38.4 million [33.9–43.8 million] people were living with HIV at the end of 2021. An estimated 0.7% [0.6-0.8%] of adults aged 15–49 years worldwide are living with HIV, although the burden of the epidemic continues to vary considerably between countries and regions.
The WHO African Region remains most severely affected, with nearly 1 in every 25 adults (3.4%) living with HIV and accounting for more than two-thirds of the people living with HIV worldwide.
HIV is spread primarily by unprotected sex (including vaginal, anal, and oral sex), contaminated blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. Because of lack of public acceptance, people infected with HIV are frequently subjected to stigma and discrimination.{{cite web|url=http://hab.hrsa.gov/publications/stigma/front.htm |title=Stigma and HIV/AIDS A Review of the Literature |access-date=2006-10-11 |date=May 2003 |work=U.S. Department of Health and Human Services |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061019034109/http://hab.hrsa.gov/publications/stigma/front.htm |archive-date=October 19, 2006 }} Publicity campaigns around the world have aimed to counter HIV-related prejudices and misconceptions and to replace them with an accurate understanding that helps to prevent new infections. These efforts have been aided by various celebrities – including American basketball star Magic Johnson and South African judge Edwin Cameron – who have publicly announced that they are HIV-positive.{{cite journal
