Global HIV/AIDS Fight at Crossroads After COVID-19 Setbacks
TimeJUL 2022
Developed countries need to make a strong financial commitment to enable the UN to end AIDS by 2030. $29.3B is urgently needed by 2025 and the UN is currently $8B short. Only by prioritizing vulnerable nations and communities will humanity be able to end this horrific disease.
While COVID has temporarily hampered efforts to tackle HIV infections, a return to pandemic normality will likely see countries relocate their resources back to diseases like AIDS. In the meantime, there are lots of developments to feel positively about including new treatments and the prospect of reversing the infection in long-term sufferers. There are good reasons for optimism.
