Fiji - July 2025
UN data shows record number of new HIV infections
Data from UNAIDS showed Fiji had 1,583 recorded new cases of HIV in 2024, which is the highest number of cases in a year in the country’s history and represented a 281 per cent increase over 2023. Fijian public health officials said the rise in infections was driven primarily by increased intravenous use of illicit drugs and exacerbated by decreased support from international donors for public health measures. The lack of available funding is also hampering collection of data for 2025.
