“Pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response – whether in addressing AIDS, or Covid-19 – is a cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda. Our promising agenda – in the fulfilment of which we are lagging behind. However, there is reason for optimism. Data shows that the global AIDS response has led to remarkable results. A diagnosis that was once a death sentence has, through both science and solidarity, been transformed into a manageable chronic health condition.”

“While this progress is exceptional, it is also uneven. The most significant improvements on all fronts of this pandemic happen in countries that choose to invest in their HIV and AIDS responses. In those places, HIV treatment and educational material is readily, and freely, available. In others, not only is it difficult to acquire, it also remains a serious taboo.”

“Ending AIDS as a public health threat is integrally linked to broader efforts on poverty, hunger, governance, and access to health care for all. These have all been badly affected by multiple crisis, including climate change, and the COVID 19 pandemic. Ending AIDS is also linked to progress on human rights and social inclusion, from gender equality, to tackling discrimination and stigma.”

STORYLINE
Addressing a plenary meeting on the Implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS, General Assembly President Csaba Kőrösi today (12 Jun) said “the global AIDS response has led to remarkable results” but noted that “while this progress is exceptional, it is also uneven.”
In his opening remarks, Kőrösi said that pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response – whether in addressing AIDS, or Covid-19 – “is a cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda.”
The General Assembly President said, “a diagnosis that was once a death sentence has, through both science and solidarity, been transformed into a manageable chronic health condition,” but noted that “the most significant improvements on all fronts of this pandemic happen in countries that choose to invest in their HIV and AIDS responses” and “HIV treatment and educational material is readily, and freely, available.”
In others, he said, “not only is it difficult to acquire, it also remains a serious taboo.”
Speaking on behalf of Secretary-General António Guterres, Under-Secretary-General for Policy Guy Ryder said, “ending AIDS as a public health threat is integrally linked to broader efforts on poverty, hunger, governance, and access to health care for all,” and pointed out that “these have all been badly affected by multiple crisis, including climate change, and the COVID 19 pandemic.”
Ending AIDS he said, “is also linked to progress on human rights and social inclusion, from gender equality, to tackling discrimination and stigma.”
For her part, Kenyan Ambassador Njambi Kinyungu said, “we must continue to prioritize an equitable response to end the AIDS pandemic and support the most vulnerable populations.”
Kinyungu said, “fulfilling the commitments of the Political Declaration will accelerate action towards achieving Universal Health Coverage, preventing future pandemics, and addressing social and economic inequalities.”
The General Assembly President outlined four areas to improve progress on HIV and AIDS:
First, by addressing the gaps in HIV prevention, testing and treatment services – particularly for vulnerable groups; Second, by ensuring adequate and equitable funding; Third, by implementing evidence-based programmes;
Fourth, by using the synergies between AIDS response, broader health goals and the whole 2030 Agenda.
