➡️ 58% of the new HIV cases in 2024 were among adolescent girls and young women
➡️ Men living with HIV are less likely to be on treatment (73%) than women (83%)

We cannot end AIDS while leaving anyone behind. Targeted, funded programs save lives across all communities. #WAD2025 #HIVPrevention

HIV prevention services are being defunded, even as serious inequities persist in the fight to #EndTheEpidemic:
➡️ 12% of all AIDS-related deaths in 2024 were among children, though they account for only 3% of all people living with HIV

We're closer than ever to ending HIV/AIDS. 87% of people living with HIV know their status, and 89% are on treatment. But after 1.3 million new infections in 2024, there’s much work to be done. We can finish this fight, but it means we must #FundWhatWorks #HIVPrevention #WAD2025

Botswana’s incredible HIV success story, explained in one chart Here’s how this African country is winning the fight against childhood HIV.

“Botswana shows you know what can happen when a country decides that no child should be born with HIV, and they actually mean it.” - Doris Macharia, president of @egpaf.bsky.social

Since the 1990s, Botswana has lowered its rate of childhood HIV infection by over 98%: ow.ly/fIfQ50WY2lE

The global HIV response is at a crisis point—we cannot afford to step down.

Countries must sustain HIV services and increase national HIV budgets. Donor countries must support a smooth transition from aid dependency to sustainable independence.

Lawmakers allocated $6 billion this fiscal year for PEPFAR, the H.I.V. prevention and treatment program, but the administration has indicated it will release less than half of that: ow.ly/cqTb50WKsMS

26.9 million lives have been saved thanks to HIV treatment since the start of the epidemic.

We have the tools and know what works.

Now, countries must stay committed and global support must continue—to keep saving lives.
