Countries slow their progress against HIV
"When countries criminalise LGBTI+ people they slow their progress against HIV."
Governments all over the world have committed to bringing the HIV/AIDS epidemic to an end by 2030, something that would have seemed impossible mere decades ago.
Now, the goal is within reach, but Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, tells GAY TIMES that “work still needs to be done” to make it a reality in the next seven years.
“We have 30 million people around the world living with HIV and on treatment, living good lives,” she explains.
“But we also have 9.2 million people who we still have to find, who for many reasons, are not accessing treatment.”
