The new @unaids.org report shows we were closer than in decades to ending AIDS by 2030, yet new #HIV infections stayed flat in ’24, and even before funding cuts, efforts weren’t enough to drive them down. We must double down with bolder, more strategic action to drive real decline.
In 2025, sudden US funding cuts and reductions from key donors shocked the global AIDS response.
Today, we're releasing a new report showing how these disruptions unfolded & the resilience of communities and countries protecting progress.

The USG decision to exclude South Africa from its plan to deliver #LEN for #PrEP is a huge missed opportunity. For a market that drives volume up & prices down, and delivers impact, SA is the CENTER of the market. PEPFAR & Global Fund engagement with SA is essential. More in WashPo: buff.ly/QWN6Hvv

#LEN for #PrEP as arrived in Eswatini and Zambia. It's faster access to a new #PrEP product than ever before. But the very low #'s in this 1st delivery, 1,000 doses, point to all the work that still needs to be done. The world needs speed, scale and equity to achieve impact.
