For example, Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Zimbabwe. These are countries that have already achieved the 95-95-95 HIV treatment targets, meaning: 95 percent of people living with HIV in these countries know their status; 95 percent of people who know they are living with HIV are on life saving antiretroviral treatment, and 95 percent of the people on treatment are virally suppressed.”

And the virus continues to change, as we've seen with other pandemics and other viruses. But we are not there yet. So we will continue to do everything that we can to suppress the viral load as we've seen with some of these other countries, which bring the community viral suppression down very, very, very low where the virus is not transmitting in the population.”

STORYLINE
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) has launched a new global report. “With this release, we also have hopeful optimism, and also a clarion call for urgency,” Assistant Secretary-General Angeli Achrekar said.
Presenting the report ‘The Path that Ends AIDS’’ to journalists on Thursday (13 July) in New York, Angeli Achrekar, Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director of the Programme Branch of UNAIDS, said, “HIV responses succeed when they're anchored in strong political leadership to do four things.”
She continued, “Scale-up evidence-based prevention and treatment services; tackle the inequalities that are holding back progress; enable communities to assume their vital roles in the response and ensuring that sufficient and sustainable funding for HIV is in place to end the fight, but also to sustain the gains as we move into the future.”
Achrekar noted, “Countries that are putting people in communities first in their policies and programs are already leading the world and their journey to end AIDS by 2030. For example, Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Zimbabwe.”
She explained, “These are countries that have already achieved the 95-95-95 HIV treatment targets, meaning: 95 percent of people living with HIV in these countries know their status; 95 percent of people who know they are living with HIV are on life saving antiretroviral treatment, and 95 percent of the people on treatment are virally suppressed.”
Achrekar reiterated, “we do not yet have a vaccine or cure”. She continued, “And the virus continues to change, as we've seen with other pandemics and other viruses.”
The Assistant Secretary-General concluded, “we will continue to do everything that we can to suppress the viral load as we've seen with some of these other countries, which bring the community viral suppression down very, very, very low where the virus is not transmitting in the population.”
According to the report World Health Organization (WHO), HIV remains a major global public health issue, having claimed 40.4 million [32.9–51.3 million] lives so far with ongoing transmission in all countries globally; with some countries reporting increasing trends in new infections when previously on the decline.
Ending AIDS by 2030 is an integral part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were unanimously adopted by United Nations Member States in 2015.
Since 1996, the United Nations efforts have been coordinated by UNAIDS—the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.
