A child with acute malnutrition and HIV in DR Congo. UN report: The world has achieved significant, but insufficient progress in the fight against AIDS Healthcare ~ 60 > the international community has reached noticeable progress in the fight against HIV infection and AIDS, however, according to the data given in the new & nbsp; the report of the UN Secretary General, the world risk not coping with the task of liquidation of AIDS as a threat to public healthcare by 2030. The report was presented on Thursday by the First Deputy Secretary General of the UN Amina Mohammed at a meeting of the General Assembly.

It also defines strategic directions for the future. record low level of new infections ~ 60 > according to the report, in 2023 the smallest number of new cases of HIV infection since the late 1980s were registered. Compared to 2010, the global decline was 39 percent, while Africa countries south of Sakhara showed the most rapid decline by 56 percent. This confirms that international investments and efforts in the fight against the epidemic bring real fruits, the report says. At the same time, & nbsp; the number of new cases – about 1.3 million – in 2023 turned out to be more than three times higher than the target indicator in 370 thousand cases by 2025. A particularly alarming situation is formed in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, in Latin America, as well as in the Middle East and North Africa, where the number of new infections continues to grow. 62 ~~ 60 > women and girls disproportionately vulnerable 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62 thing On a general decrease in HIV spread, women and teenage girls are still in a high-risk group. In 22 countries, Africa south of Sahara, the frequency of infection among teenage girls and young women is three times higher than the same indicator among young men. 62 ~ 62 ~The reason for this is the insufficient distribution of prevention programs oriented to youth, especially in regions with moderate or high prevalence of the virus. The UN Secretary General emphasizes: “The fight against HIV is impossible without eliminating gender inequality and creating equal access to prevention for everyone.” 62 ~~ 60 > children: Progress with reservations substantial progress is achieved In the field of prevention of vertical transmission of HIV from mother to child. In East and South Africa, the number of new cases of HIV in children under the age of 14 from 2010 decreased by 73 percent. 60 > However, the total dynamics in other regions of Africa causes anxiety, the report said. In Western and Central Africa, the rate of reduction of infection among children slowed down. In 2023, about 120 thousand children infected HIV, and the total number of minors living with the virus reached 1.4 million, of which 86 percent live in the countries of Africa south of Sahara. ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62The treatment remains inaccessible to millions ~ 60 > against the background of growth in antiretroviral therapy in 2023 30.7 million people received vital treatment. This helped reduce the number of AIDS deaths to 630 thousand – the lowest level since 2004. For comparison: in 2010, this indicator was 1.3 million. ~ 60 > Nevertheless, the target mark of 250 thousand deaths by 2025 remains unattainable. Every day more than 1000 people die from AIDS. In addition, almost a quarter of people living with HIV (9.3 million people) do not have access to treatment, and among children this indicator reaches 43 percent. 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62These figures emphasize that the world cannot count on success without activating the efforts on diagnosis, treatment and prevention, especially among the most vulnerable groups of the population. ~ 60 > 62 ~ report the UN report UNO. Clearly indicates: medical measures are insufficient if social and legal obstacles are not eliminated. The problems of stigmatization, discrimination on the basis of HIV status, gender, sexual orientation or behavior, as well as violence against women and marginalized groups, continue to slow down the progress. ~ 60 >~ 60 > every fourth respondent in 25 countries reported when receiving medical care not associated with HIV. This seriously undermines the trust in healthcare systems and reduces the willingness to seek help. ~ 60 > In addition, in 2025 many organizations reported to deterioration of financing, which led to a reduction in staff, reducing the quality of services and an increase in psychological stress for those who live with HIV. 60 > Secretary General’s report ends with a warning: if the international community wants to put an end to AIDS as a threat to public healthcare by 2030 – as provided for by the goals of sustainable development of the UN, it is necessary to act immediately and decisively. The key measures should be the expansion of access to treatment and prevention, the elimination of discriminatory laws, the fight against gender inequality, the support of civil society and the introduction of innovative medical decisions. 62 ~
