From the International AIDS Society:

As we approach World AIDS Day on December 1, IAS – the International AIDS Society – is calling on people everywhere to rally around the theme, Unite to reach all.

In 2023, around 5.4 million of the 39.9 million people living with HIV worldwide – one in seven – were not aware of their status. At the same time, 9.3 million – nearly one in four – were not receiving life-saving treatment. Those who are not being reached are especially likely to be struggling with poverty and social inequalities or to be members of key and affected populations. 

Despite significant advancements in long-acting PrEP and treatment, these technologies are largely out of reach in low- and middle-income countries. For millions, barriers such as inequities, stigma, discrimination and harmful laws continue to stand in the way of comprehensive HIV care. 

The voices of scientists, healthcare providers, policy makers, civil society, people living with and affected by HIV need to come together to ensure that the benefits of scientific advancement reach everyone.
