Briefing reporters at UN headquarters, Núñez said the findings of UNAIDS’ new Global Report: Overcoming disruption, transforming the response, point to mounting threats driven by a sharp decline in international funding. The report, launched last week in Geneva, underscores “the importance of overcoming the current disruption in the financing of the AIDS response. ” He highlighted severe pressures on countries already struggling to maintain services. “OECD projects that external health aid will drop by 30 to 40 per cent in 2025 compared to 2023,” he said, adding that the cuts are “causing i...

Despite dramatic funding setbacks, the global HIV response has gained a remarkable momentum in 2025 with the introduction and WHO approval of twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir for HIV prevention. LEN, a highly effective, long-acting alternative to oral pills and other options, is a transformative intervention for people who face challenges with regular adherence and stigma in accessing health care.

  Global Aids Strategy Major milestones in the development of the Strategy. ▪ Developing the targets . Throughout 2024 and in early 2025, UNAIDS laid the foundation for the development of the next Global AIDS Strategy. This involved four streams of work:  (a) the mid-term review of the 2021–2026 Global AIDS Strategy;  (b) the development of 2030 global AIDS targets by an advisory Global Task Team on Targets for 2030; 70  (c) support to countries to develop national HIV sustainability roadmaps; and  (d) multi-stakeholder consultations. The work continued despite the mounting financial challenges in 2025.  ▪ Identifying what worked. The mid-term review highlighted major gains, especially in the expansion of access to HIV treatment, but also showed persistent inequalities in access to HIV prevention and insufficient progress in removing societal and structural barriers.
