UNAIDS HIV Targets
Despite the extraordinary achievements in discovering, developing, and scaling up effective strategies, we are still far from consigning HIV to history. The UN Sustainable Development Goals include ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. The interim targets for 2020 have been missed, so the High-Level Meeting of the UN in June 2021 is a key moment to define and commit to what is needed to get back on track.
This collection includes articles that lay out the evidence and the deliberations that underpin the global targets, their epidemiological impact and the low- and middle income countries’ resource needs for the HIV response through 2025.
