HIV and Syphilis Burden in Children Aged 0–14 Years from 1990–2021

Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 provides supplementary data on HIV and syphilis burdens for children aged 0–14 years across global, regional, and national levels. The dataset contains detailed results, extended tables, and additional figures supporting a systematic analysis from 1990 to 2021. Ruyu Tan authored the research materials hosted by Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in HIV prevalence among children aged 0–14 years by region from 1990 to 2021.
• Compare national-level syphilis burden estimates for children across different years.
• Validate disease burden models using the detailed results and extended tables provided in the supplementary files.

Strengths

• Data spans 32 years of temporal coverage from 1990 to 2021.
• Provides estimates at global, regional, and national spatial scales.
• Results are part of the systematic Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 methodology.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column details, and sample sizes are unknown.
• Data is supplementary to a research article and may lack raw underlying individual-level records.
• Geographic granularity for national estimates may vary by country data availability.
