The United Nations agency UNAIDS has confirmed that it is still possible to end AIDS by 2030.
It calls for global action and encourages leaders to take decisive action.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has developed a roadmap of investments, prevention strategies, treatment and addressing inequalities. Significant progress has been made in countries that have invested heavily in HIV prevention and treatment.
Many countries have already achieved important goals such as HIV status knowledge, treatment and virus suppression. However, challenges remain, such as funding and access to treatment. Major population groups continue to be disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic.
UNAIDS affirms that political will, investment in prevention and treatment, health systems, non-discriminatory legislation, gender equality and community networks are essential to ending AIDS. The end of AIDS is seen as an opportunity to remember leaders as those who stopped the world’s deadliest epidemic.
