Despite progress in several countries, we are still not on track to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. In 2023, about 4000 adults and children acquired HIV each day — a total of 1.3 million new HIV infections. Lifesaving antiretroviral therapy can also prevent HIV by suppressing the virus in a person’s blood to an untransmissible level, but 9.2 million people living with AIDS did not receive ART in 2023.
Urgent action is needed to increase investments in HIV prevention, strengthen political leadership and create an enabling environment to implement programmes at scale towards the global target of fewer than 370,000 new HIV infections annually by 2025.
Accelerating progress in HIV prevention now is particularly important in the GPC focus countries where three out of four new HIV infections occur.
The time to act is now.

The Global HIV Prevention Coalition and partners in HIV prevention have developed tools to facilitate country-led planning of prevention programmes. Tools are available for use in GPC and non-GPC countries for each of the thematic “pillars” of HIV prevention.
