International study shows decline in HIV/AIDS in Morocco
A recent study published in The Lancet HIV has shown a significant decline in new HIV/AIDS infection cases in Morocco, with a reduction of over 72% between 2013 and 2025. The estimated number of cases in 2025 has decreased to around 874, compared to 3,163 in 2013, reflecting a substantial decrease in the national prevalence of the epidemic. Despite this progress, transmission remains more concentrated among certain groups and shows geographical disparities across major regions, especially in Casablanca, Fes, Tangier, Marrakech, Rabat, and Souss. The study also noted that Morocco has achieved successes in treating diagnosed cases using antiretroviral medications and in attaining viral suppression. It emphasizes the importance of expanding early detection and implementing prevention programs, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to reduce future infection rates by more than half.
