On 21 May 2024, a webinar titled “HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections: Progress and gaps”, was held in the run up to the 77th World Health Assembly.
The World Health Organization (WHO) launched a publication, which describes progress and gaps identified during the first two years of implementing the global health sector strategies on HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for 2022-2030. The publication builds on its short report.
The latest data show that new acquisitions and deaths are not declining fast enough. Gains have been made in expanding access to HIV and hepatitis C treatment and the validation of elimination of vertical transmission of HIV and/or syphilis in 19 countries, but many indicators needed to achieve the global targets are off track.
We asked key leaders in the responses to HIV, viral hepatitis and STIs how we can increase visibility, political will and community activism to accelerate action.
The webinar was organized by the IAS and its partners, WHO, MPP and Unitaid.
The recording of this webinar is also available in French and Spanish.
