UN warns that political decisions made in 2024 will be crucial in achieving the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Progress has been made in reducing new infections, increasing treatment for HIV-positive patients, and lowering fatalities, but the overall progress is fragile.
Access to antiretroviral medication remains a major issue, with millions of patients not receiving treatment.
Stigma, discrimination, and criminalization hinder efforts to control the spread of AIDS, particularly among marginalized groups.
Calls are made for the removal of punitive laws against LGBTQ+ people and for increased solidarity to save lives and combat stigma.
