Individuals most at risk from HIV include those with multiple sexual partners, men who have sex with men, and people who share needles or syringes. Additionally, individuals in regions with high HIV prevalence, such as sub-Saharan Africa, as well as marginalized populations, including sex workers and transgender individuals, face increased vulnerability. Lack of access to healthcare and education about prevention further exacerbates their risk. Socioeconomic factors and stigma also play significant roles in heightening susceptibility to HIV infection.
