Object: Project report
No single prevention method or approach can stop the HIV epidemic alone. Several methods and interventions have demonstrated high levels of effectiveness in reducing the risk of HIV infection and protecting against HIV infection, including male and female condoms, administration of antiretroviral drugs as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), voluntary medical male circumcision, behavioral change interventions to limit the number of sexual partners, the use of clean needles and syringes, opioid replacement therapy (e.g. methadone) and treatment of people living with HIV with the aim of reducing viral load and preventing further transmission of the virus.
Despite the availability of this growing range of effective HIV prevention tools and methods, as well as a massive expansion of HIV treatment in recent years, the number of new infections has not declined sufficiently. globally among adults. The goal of the 2016 United Nations Political Declaration on Ending AIDS is to reduce the number of new HIV infections from more than 1.8 million in 2016 to fewer than 500,000 by 2020.
Three interconnected reasons appear to explain the failure to implement effective programs at scale: lack of political commitment and, consequently, inadequate investments; reluctance to address sensitive issues regarding the sexual and reproductive needs and rights of young people, key populations and harm reduction; finally, lack of systematic implementation of prevention, even when political environments allow it.
UNAIDS works to stimulate leadership and accountability on HIV prevention at global and national levels, as well as to accelerate the implementation of effective HIV prevention programs at national level, by providing guidance on effective approaches to achieve the prevention goals of the 2016 Political Declaration, which include access to combination prevention options, including condoms, PrEP, harm reduction and voluntary medical male circumcision, for at least 90 % of people at risk by 2020, especially young women and girls in high-prevalence countries and key populations, coverage of 3 million people at high risk with PrEP, coverage of 25 million of men with voluntary medical male circumcision and the distribution of 20 billion condoms in low- and middle-income countries.
The Executive Director of UNAIDS has called for the establishment of a new global prevention coalition and the establishment of a road map for 2020. The objectives of this coalition are to: create a platform trains policymakers, program managers and civil society representatives on HIV prevention to strengthen political commitment; define critical milestones and targets to ensure effective scale-up of prevention programs as part of a global prevention roadmap; and improve accountability of all stakeholders and technical support for HIV prevention programs, in support of achieving the objectives and commitments of the 2016 Political Declaration on prevention.
We hope we have sufficient funds to start our project, help patients living with AIDS, and teach what does not carry this disease.
