People who inject drugs continue to face a disproportionate burden of HIV. We spoke with @inpud.bsky.social Executive Director Anton Basenko about the urgent need for community-led harm reduction. Read interview: www.unaids.org/en/resources...

Last year saw the sharpest drop of global aid, including to HIV programmes. As a consequence, HIV testing fell by 22% in high-burden settings, which means people do not know their HIV status and do not receive treatment. Fully funding the HIV response is critical. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

41m people are living with HIV. UNAIDS latest data shows that nearly 9m of them are not receiving treatment. Countries committed to ensuring 40m people living with HIV are on treatment by 2030. To meet this goal, we must ensure equitable access to HIV services. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

Due to low testing among children, only 55% of all children living with HIV are receiving lifesaving treatment. This is far below the treatment coverage among adults living with HIV (79%). This is unacceptable. We must close the gap so that no child is left behind. unaids.org/en/resources...

🌎 @unaids.org Executive Director Winnie Byanyima addresses the #AIDS2026 opening session in #Rio #RethinkRebuildRise #Rio #Brazil

Treatment allows people living with HIV to live long and healthy lives. Yet, in 2025, there were 570,000 AIDS-related deaths. This is too high for a treatable condition. Countries must accelerate efforts to ensure the world remains on track to end AIDS. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

📍 Where to find UNAIDS today at #AIDS2026 Join us throughout the day for conversations on ending AIDS, advancing health equity, protecting human rights and ensuring everyone can benefit from the latest scientific breakthroughs. See you there.

Launching soon! UNAIDS Special Report for the 26th International AIDS Conference with the latest data on HIV following drastic cuts to HIV funding 📅 27 July 2026 🕗 2-3PM Brazil time Register to #AIDS2026 to join the launch: www.iasociety.org/conferences/... @iasociety.bsky.social

Progress towards the 95-95-95 targets has been maintained, despite the funding cuts in 2025. However, treatment gaps persist including among children living with HIV, where only 54% are on treatment. We must close these gaps. More on UNAIDS data: www.unaids.org/en/resources...

What can a more participatory UN look like in practice? Here's a perspective shared at the #HLPF Special Event. An important reminder that effective multilateralism is built not only by governments, but also by communities. We must preserve what exists and works & build on it.

Last year's cuts in funding had a devastating impact on HIV globally. UNAIDS data showed that PrEP uptake dropped sharply by 38% between 2024 and 2025 in 62 countries. We must protect the progress towards ending AIDS. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

At @the-independent.com's new documentary screening, UNAIDS Director of Management & Partnerships Christine Stegling urged global solidarity & investment in the HIV response, warning of the impact of funding cuts on critical HIV testing & treatment services. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

📢 Press Release Planning for the future at UNAIDS’ 58th Board meeting 🔗 www.unaids.org/en/resources...

UNAIDS supports efforts to protect the continuity of the HIV response during the emergency in Venezuela Statement here: www.unaids.org/en/resources...

"We haven't spent the last 40 years building this response only to let it disappear. Our job's not done." Marsha Martin of the Global Network of Black People Working in HIV called for continued community leadership, accountability and engagement as the HIV response moves forward

UNAIDS new report shows: 👍 More than 54 countries have committed to increase their domestic funding for HIV. 👎 But prevention programmes still heavily rely on international funding. 🔗Global AIDS Brief: unaids.org/en/resources...

Germany provides an additional EUR 6.75 million to @unaids.org, supporting an effective global response to #endAIDS. We remain committed to a strong partnership as one of UNAIDS' main donors, to stop new infections and ensure access to treatment.

The moment is here. The #HLM2026AIDS starts today, bringing together governments, communities and partners to decide the future of the global AIDS response. Follow #HLM2026AIDS live on UN Web TV: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1u... More events: www.unaids.org #UnitedToEndAIDS

No one should be denied life-saving HIV treatment. But millions of people are still being left behind. That must change. #HLM2026AIDS #UnitedToEndAIDS

As donor funding declines, integration is a central pathway to sustainability. Join our #HLM2026AIDS side event on how country-led, multisectoral responses can sustain and protect progress against HIV, TB and malaria. 23 June, 1:15–2:30pm ET Register: hlm2026sideevents@unaids.org

20 million people reached with HIV prevention services by 2030. How do we get there? Join our #HLM2026AIDS side event on country & community leadership, partnerships and accountability to deliver the prevention ambition. 22 June, 4:30–6pm Register: hlm2026sideevents@unaids.org @avac.org @unfpa.org

#DidYouKnow? At #HLM2026AIDS, countries will negotiate a new Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS, shaping global commitments, accountability, and action for years to come. This is where the world decides whether we stay on track to end AIDS by 2030. Find out more: www.unaids.org/en/2026-high...

@unaids.org's report warns of a ‘perilous moment’ for the HIV response. Without renewed commitment & sustained investment, decades of progress towards ending AIDS could be at risk. The report highlights the impact of disruptions to global funding & the political choices needed to put people first.
