In recent years, the world has seen a remarkable 69% drop in AIDS-related deaths since 2004. However, this progress faces setbacks due to reduced funding and increasing stigmatization of high-risk groups. According to experts, this could jeopardize the UN's goal to reduce new infections and AIDS-related deaths by over 90% by 2030, highlighting a critical need for renewed investment and strategies focusing on vulnerable populations.
UNAIDS reported a concerning increase in new HIV infections, with 1.3 million cases last year—a rise of 100,000 compared to 2022. This figure starkly contrasts with the UNAIDS-target of 330,000 new infections for next year, underscoring a significant challenge in curbing the epidemic. As infection rates rise in some regions, particularly Eastern Europe and Latin America, urgent action is required to mitigate future risks.
