Southern Africa

Explanation:

South Africa has the largest HIV infected population in the world, with 7.7 million people infected with HIV. The prevalence of HIV in the general populace is high at 20.4%. Prevalence is also greater in men who have sex with children, transgender women, sex workers and those who take drugs. It has the biggest antiretroviral therapy (ART) system in the world. It was primarily funded by its own internal resources: in 2017, the government spent more than $1.54 billion annually to administer its Aids services.
