“We have a solution, if we follow the leadership of countries that have forged a strong political commitment to put their people first and invest in evidence-based HIV prevention and treatment programs,” the UNAIDS agency stated.
Adopting non-discriminatory laws and community empowerment, among other initiatives, are effective responses to HIV, the agency added.
UNAIDS said that ending the disease is, above all, a political and financial choice, “Success can be achieved in this decade,” said UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima.
“The end of AIDS is an opportunity for today’s world leaders to be remembered as the people who succeeded in stopping the world’s deadliest disease.”
Byanyima said that the greatest progress in the fight against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has been made in countries and regions that have invested strongly.
