Abstract
The socio-economic burden of HIV infection remains a critical global health concern. This study was conducted to perform a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the socio-economic burden of HIV infection, highlighting research trends, collaboration networks, and the evolving focus on social determinants of health over the past 32 years. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection databases, covering publications from 1992 to 2024. The analysis was performed using RStudio and Biblioshiny, focusing on 1,054 studies from 422 publications. This study revealed a steady annual growth rate of 16.72% in publications on the socio-economic burden of HIV from 1992 to 2024, with the USA and Canada leading in contributions. The University of Toronto emerged as the top institution, while 'social determinants of health' and 'HIV infections' were identified as pivotal research themes. Collaboration networks were predominantly among high-income countries, with limited engagement from high-burden regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Key journals, such as AIDS and Behavior, were identified as central to advancing the field. Thematic analysis highlighted a shift from biomedical to socio-economic factors, emphasizing the need for equitable global collaboration and research addressing disparities in HIV management. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of HIV socio-economic burden research, emphasizing the need for increased collaboration with high-burden regions and a continued focus on addressing social determinants of health in HIV management.
期刊介绍：
Global Health Action is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal affiliated with the Unit of Epidemiology and Global Health, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University, Sweden. The Unit hosts the Umeå International School of Public Health and the Umeå Centre for Global Health Research.
Vision: Our vision is to be a leading journal in the global health field, narrowing health information gaps and contributing to the implementation of policies and actions that lead to improved global health.
Aim: The widening gap between the winners and losers of globalisation presents major public health challenges. To meet these challenges, it is crucial to generate new knowledge and evidence in the field and in settings where the evidence is lacking, as well as to bridge the gaps between existing knowledge and implementation of relevant findings. Thus, the aim of Global Health Action is to contribute to fuelling a more concrete, hands-on approach to addressing global health challenges. Manuscripts suggesting strategies for practical interventions and research implementations where none already exist are specifically welcomed. Further, the journal encourages articles from low- and middle-income countries, while also welcoming articles originated from South-South and South-North collaborations. All articles are expected to address a global agenda and include a strong implementation or policy component.
