With an estimated 120,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Colombia is consistent with the epidemic in much of Latin America as a whole, both in terms of prevalence of infection and characteristics of transmission and affected populations. Colombia has a relatively low rate of HIV infection at 0.4%, though certain groups, particularly men who have sex with men, bear the burden of significantly higher rates of infection than the general population. Colombia's health care system and conception of a "right to health," created by the T-760 decision of 2008, have revolutionized access to HIV treatment. Despite this, the quality of health insurance and treatment for HIV has often been disputed.

| - With an estimated 120,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Colombia is consistent with the epidemic in much of Latin America as a whole, both in terms of prevalence of infection and characteristics of transmission and affected populations.

- La epidemia del VIH/sida en Colombia es considerada una epidemia de baja intensidad en este país de América. En la actualidad, 120.000 personas viven con la enfermedad en el país. El índice de casos es menor (0,4%) en comparación con otros países de la región como Brasil o Argentina, pese a que los casos van en aumento. Según cifras del Ministerio de Salud de Colombia, de 82.856 casos en el 2017, se llegaron a 123.490 en el 2020, siendo un aumento de 25,36% en los casos por cada 100.000 habitantes de este país. Así mismo el mayor porcentaje de infección es de hombres que tienen actividad sexual con otros hombres (39,74%), en comparación con otros grupos de riesgo como consumidores de alucinógenos que se administran vía intravenosa, y habitantes de calle. Lo anterior nos permite analizar que el mayor porcentaje de las personas que viven con la enfermedad no se identificaron en ninguno de estos grupos. La enfermedad se concentra en las ciudades más importantes del país como Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, Montería y Cúcuta. (es)
