Are we on the Right Track to End AIDS by 2030
UN General Assembly President Csaba Korosi revealed that the goal to end AIDS by 2030 is “badly off track”.
“We must address these challenges that have kept HIV/AIDS as a global health crisis for more than 40 years,” he said.

The General Assembly's 2021 Political Declaration on AIDS features global commitments and targets for 2025 that are ambitious, but achievable for governments and communities, said Korosi, calling on all member states and stakeholders to renew their political and financial commitments to ending AIDS.

“We must ensure universal access to evidence-informed services, such as testing and treatment, as well as global cooperation on new technologies,” he said.

International solidarity in the form of sustainable funding is also crucially needed. If efforts are made to equalize, the world will get back on track to leave no one behind, he said. “The AIDS crisis is ripe for solutions based on science, solidarity and sustainability. I invite everyone to join the call and take action.”
