Expanded antiretroviral therapy ART use may reduce AIDS orphanhood by decreasing adult mortality and population-level HIV transmission. Methods We modeled two scenarios to measure the impact of adult ART use on the incidence of orphanhood in 10 sub-Saharan African countries from 2009 to 2020. Demographic model data inputs were obtained from cohort studies UNAIDS UN Population Division WHO and the US Census Bureau. Results Compared to current rates of ART uptake universal ART access averted 4.37 million more AIDS orphans by year 2020 including 3.15 million maternal 1.89 million paternal and 0.75 million double orphans. The number of AIDS orphans averted was highest in South Africa 901.71 thousand and Nigeria 839.01 thousand and lowest in Zimbabwe 86.96 thousand and Côte d Ivoire 109.12 thousand . Conclusion Universal ART use may significantly reduce orphanhood in sub-Saharan Africa. Introduction An estimated 11.6 million children aged 0 to 17 years in sub-Saharan Africa have lost one or both parents due to human immunodeficiency virus acquired immune deficiency syndrome HIV AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic 1 . Studies suggest that orphans in subSaharan Africa may have poor quality of life and health including reduced access to basic material goods and retention in education 2 and elevated psychological distress and symptoms of depression 3 4 . Orphans may be at heightened risk of acquiring HIV due to engagement in early and unprotected sex and .
