<p><strong>Background:</strong> Globally, over 85.6 million people have been infected with HIV since the beginning of the epidemic. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for nearly two-thirds of the global HIV burden. Despite significant efforts to reduce HIV morbidity and mortality, new infections continue to pose a major public health challenge. HIV surveillance is crucial for understanding trends, identifying hotspot areas, and targeting interventions towards affected population groups. This study aims to estimate the HIV burden in terms of person, place, and time in the Awi Zone.</p>
