HIV remains a major public health issue that affects millions of people worldwide.
Although the
world has made significant progress in recent decades important global targets
for 2020 were not met.
Division,
disparity and disregard for human rights are among the failures that allowed
HIV to become and remain a global health crisis. COVID-19 is exacerbating
inequities and disruptions to services,
making the lives of many people living with HIV more challenging.
The theme of
World AIDS Day 2021 is “End inequalities. End AIDS”. With a special focus on reaching people left
behind, WHO and its partners are highlighting the growing inequalities in
access to essential HIV services.
WHO is calling on global leaders and citizens
to rally to confront the inequalities that drive AIDS and to reach people who
are currently not receiving essential HIV services.
