On this World AIDS Day, we celebrate the progress in the effort to end AIDS by 2030! New biomedical tools such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and long-acting antiretrovirals offer hope in reducing HIV transmission. However, it is crucial that these advancements in HIV treatment and prevention are made available and affordable for everyone, especially in developing countries. In East and Southern Africa, approximately 20.8 million people are still living with HIV. Currently, 79% of those living with HIV know their status. While we have made significant progress, there is still much work to be done to achieve the 2030 target of ending AIDS and realizing the ‘95-95-95’ goals.Let’s continue to advocate for equitable access to treatment and support for all! #WorldAIDSDay #EndAIDS #HealthEquity #SRHR

Today, on World AIDs Day, let’s pause to honor the strength and resilience of those living with HIV, remember the lives we have lost, acknowledge the progress we’ve made and also reflect on the work that remains. Ending HIV is not just about science or medicine; it’s also about compassion, equity, and justice. It’s about breaking down barriers like stigma, discrimination, and silence that still prevent too many from seeking comprehensive care. Together, we have the power to change the course of history, we can eradicate new HIV infections and ensure everyone living with HIV thrive and stay undetectable. #WorldAIDSDay2024 #EndingHIV #16DaysOfActivism
