This is according to data from the UNAIDS Global AIDS update 2025. Montenegro and Indonesia follow with similarly low rates of 2.9% and 3.0%, respectively.

Other countries in the bottom 10 include Turkmenistan (3.4%), Philippines (4.1%), Comoros (4.5%), Cambodia (5.6%), Bhutan (5.6%), South Africa (6.4%), and Mauritania (6.4%).
