HIV medication worldwide sales volume by type 2008-2012

This statistic shows the worldwide sales volume for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) medication from 2008 to 2012, by drug type. In 2010, fixed-dose combination drugs accounted for 27% and plain active ingredient drugs accounted for 73% of the HIV medication volume sold. In 2013, about 34 million people around the world were suffering from HIV but due to advances in medication, it is considered a manageable chronic condition. Although, antiretroviral therapy has made living with HIV much more manageable, there are many in the developing world that still have no access to sufficient medical treatment. HIV antiviral volume is decreasing as fixed-dose combination therapy becomes more prominent.
