New UNAIDS Data on HIV Response During COVID-19

Global
11.08.2022

The data from UNAIDS of the global HIV response has shown that progress has faltered and resources have shrunk during the last two years of COVID-19 and other global crises.

As a result, millions of lives are now at risk. Communities that were already at a greater risk of HIV are now even more vulnerable due to an increase of 75 to 95 million people being pushed into poverty.

The data shows that the progress against HIV is slowing, with the smallest drop in new HIV cases being reported in 2020 since 2016.

 

 

The report also shows how UNAIDS responded to the unjust war in the Ukraine, with US$ 250 000 being disbursed to preserve key HIV services.
