9 million still miss HIV treatment – WHO
…Says funding cuts, inequalities threaten bid to end HIV, hepatitis, STIs by 2030 By Chioma Obinna The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that nearly nine million people living with HIV are still without life-saving treatment, raising concerns that funding cuts, humanitarian crises and widening inequalities could derail global efforts to end HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as public health threats by 2030.
The report comes shortly after the adoption of the 2026 United Nations High-Level Meeting Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS, providing fresh evidence to support implementation of global commitments to end HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections as public health threats by 2030 through universal health coverage and stronger primary healthcare systems.
