The United Nations’ annual World AIDS Day Report emphasizes the possibility of achieving the “end of AIDS” by 2030 but highlights the need for proper funding for community-led responses. The report asserts that active hope remains, even though the world is not currently on track to end AIDS as a public health threat. There are 39 million people living with HIV globally, and while progress has been made, 9.2 million lack access to life-saving treatment. The report stresses the importance of supporting frontline community-based organizations and calls for increased funding to bridge the gap in HIV programs.
