Global HIV and AIDS situation improving but too slowly, say UNAIDS

UNAIDS, the United Nations agency charged with fighting AIDS held a press conference on the publication of a new report.

HIV infections fell to their lowest level in history in 2023, though this decline is still considered too slow to achieve the goal of virtually eradicating the epidemic by 2030. 1.3 million people around the world newly acquired HIV, three times more than the global target set for 2025, of no more than 370,000 new HIV infections in a year, said the deputy executive director of UNAIDS.
