Today’s @unaids.org report shows that by the end of 2024, AIDS-related deaths were at their lowest in over 30 years. But this data was collected before the collapse in international HIV funding — a crisis that could undo decades of progress.

We funded 119 programs across four continents last year - doubling the number of people reached with lifesaving HIV services compared to 2023.
