Storyline

UNAIDS' new data report reveals that 30.7 million people living with HIV are now on treatment. This is a landmark public health achievement that has also seen AIDS-related deaths halved since 2010—from more than one million to 630,000 in 2023.

But this is far above the 2025 target of 250,000 AIDS-related deaths. And there were still an estimated 1.3 million new HIV infections in 2023. Approximately half of the people who acquired HIV last year were living in eastern and southern Africa (35%) and western and central Africa (15%).

Critical gaps continue to undermine efforts to end AIDS in children, with little more than half (57%) of children aged 0-14 years old on HIV treatment. Last year around 120,000 children aged 0-14 years old became infected with HIV, while AIDS-related deaths among children reached 76,000.

HIV is preventable and treatable – no one should die from this disease.
