AIDS is not over. An AIDS death every minute is an emergency! HIV rates are not following the trajectory that we together promised. Indeed, amidst the fall-out from the Covid crisis, we could even see a resurgent pandemic.

@UNAIDS @UN_PGA @AminaJMohammed But a never-ending HIV pandemic is not our fate. Even in spite of all the set-backs, we can #endAIDSby2030. Business as usual however, would fail. The programs that have secured substantial progress will not enable us to finish the journey because the road is blocked
#HLM2021AIDS
The evidence and analysis are clear. Inequalities in power, status, rights & voice are driving the HIV pandemic.
Inequalities kill.
As the #GlobalAIDSStrategy sets out: to end AIDS, we have to end the inequalities which perpetuate it. #HLM2021AIDS

@UNAIDS @UN_PGA Here are 3 bold shifts we need to take together:
1. End inequalities in access to health technologies
2. End the inequalities in access to essential services
3. End the inequalities in the realisation of rights, particularly for people living with & affected by HIV
#HLM2021AIDS
This moment calls for us to work together across sectors, across countries.
As Covid reminds us, we’re not just interconnected, we’re inseparable.
We cannot end AIDS in one country or one continent, we can only #endAIDS everywhere.

I pay tribute to the civil society groups from across the world whose fight against inequalities has been the spur to action. Pressure from the power of people is key to ending inequalities and ending AIDS. ✊🏾

@UNAIDS @gnpplus The trajectory of new HIV infections and AIDS deaths will not, through business-as-usual, bend down, but we can pull it down. Let's pull it down!
We cannot be neutral on inequalities. To get back on track to ending AIDS, we must be deliberate in confronting them.
#HLM2021AIDS
@UNAIDS @gnpplus Whether we are remembered as promise-breakers or promise-keepers, as failures or victors, as the people who ended AIDS, or only as the people who could have ended AIDS, is up to us. I’m confident we will win, together.
