The United Nations reports that humans can end AIDS, and 16.2 million deaths have been avoided in 20 years

https:// href="https://" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https:// 

Recently, UNAIDS released a summary report on the 40-year history of global AIDS prevention and control
.

The report entitled "Global Commitments and Regional Actions" shows that 40 years after the first AIDS case was reported, dozens of countries have achieved or exceeded the 2020 AIDS prevention and control target set by the 2016 United Nations General Assembly.
This trend shows that the global AIDS prevention and control target is achievable, and the latest relevant data has proven that mankind can end AIDS
.

The report shows that countries with advanced laws and policies and strong and inclusive health systems have achieved the best results in the fight against HIV
.

In these countries, people living with HIV and those affected by HIV are more likely to receive effective HIV services, including HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis (medications to prevent HIV), harm reduction, and provision of HIV for several months Treatment and continuous, high-quality follow-up and care

Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, said: "Countries that perform well provide other countries with a path to follow
.

"They have sufficient funding, real community involvement, rights-based multi-sectoral Methods and the use of scientific evidence to guide key strategies have reversed their epidemics and saved lives

"Their adequate funding, true community involvement, rights-based multisectoral approach, and the use of scientific evidence to guide key strategies have reversed their epidemics and saved lives

The number of people receiving treatment worldwide has more than tripled since 2010

The report emphasizes that countries that have punitive laws and do not adopt a rights-based approach to health will punish, ignore, stigmatize and place key populations (62% of new HIV infections worldwide) on the margins and away from HIV Service
.

For example, nearly 70 countries around the world criminalize same-sex relationships

Young women in sub-Saharan Africa also continue to be left behind
.

Six out of seven new HIV infections among 15-19 year olds in the region are girls

COVID-19 shows the fragility of the health and development gains achieved in the past few decades and exposes clear inequality
.

In order to put the world on track to end AIDS by 2030, the global AIDS community and UNAIDS have used an unequal perspective to formulate an ambitious and achievable strategy that includes new goals to be achieved by 2025

If the targets are reached, by 2025, these targets will enable 95% of people to access HIV services, reduce annual HIV infections to less than 370,000, and reduce AIDS-related deaths to less than 250,000
.

This will require an investment of US$29 to increase by US$1 billion annually by 2025

UNAIDS urges the UN General Assembly to commit to the goals of the new HIV political declaration at the Fifth UN General Assembly’s High-Level Meeting on AIDS to be held from June 8 to 10, 2021
.

Ms.
Byanyima said: "The world cannot underinvest in pandemic prevention and response
.

" "I strongly urge the United Nations General Assembly to seize the opportunity and commit to taking the necessary actions to end AIDS

The report shows that in 2020, 27.
4 million of the 37.
6 million HIV- infected people are receiving treatment, compared with 7.
8 million in 2010
.
Since 2010, the number of AIDS-related deaths has fallen by 43%, and by 2020 it has fallen to 690,000
