Germany steps up its support for @unaids.org with an additional €700,000, bringing our total contribution for 2025 to €8.4 million. Even in challenging times, Germany stands firmly with UNAIDS and supports a strong, sustainable & effective HIV response.

Great news! Brazil has received @who.int certification for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV & syphilis. UNAIDS congratulates Brazil on this milestone, driven by universal healthcare, protection of rights and adequate & fair access to medicines. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

Thank you Germany for standing with UNAIDS and for your continued leadership in advancing the rights of LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. Your €8.4 million contribution in 2025 is deeply appreciated and brings us closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat. @genf.diplo.de

Programmes serving key populations are vital to slow new HIV infections and accelerate progress toward ending AIDS.​ But funding cuts are undermining these efforts, at a time when HIV is rising fastest among key populations.​ These services are lifelines. We must protect them.​

The ongoing reductions in international aid, and abrupt US funding cuts, have exposed how fragile the HIV response becomes when resources are withdrawn.​ We have the innovation, medicines, knowledge and expertise. What we need now is sustained global solidarity. www.unaids.org/en/2025-worl... ​

This #HumanRightsDay the global HIV response is facing its most challenging moment in decades. UNAIDS calls on global leaders to: - Reaffirm global solidarity - Uphold human rights - Strengthen community-led action unaids.org/en/resources...

People living with HIV deserve their full right to health, upheld every single day. On this #HumanRightsDay, listen to the voices at the heart of the HIV response as they share what human rights means to them⬇️ www.unaids.org/en/resources...

Every week, 4000 adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa acquired HIV in 2024. ​Programmes that empower and support them are essential. ​ But in 2025, funding cuts wiped out many of these services. ​ Learn more: unaids.org/en/2025-worl...

“The HIV community gives me hope. In the hardest and darkest days, it was this community that rose up. And today, that same fight still exists.” - Angeli Achrekar, UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director, at the #WorldAIDSDay2025 event

​Shared responsibility and global solidarity have been the foundation of the historic reductions in new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths.​ This must continue!​ www.unaids.org/en/2025-worl... ​

“As young people, we will not stop. We will continue to fight to ensure that every young person has the chance to live free from HIV.” 📽️ A strong call to world leaders from Paul Mavesere Ndhlovu of Zvandiri, delivered during the #WorldAIDSDay2025 event.

We can drive down new HIV infections dramatically and move closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat; only if breakthrough medicines are scaled up and reach the people who need them most, quickly and equitably. Winnie Byanyima, UNAIDS Executive Director, for #WorldAIDSDay

As global HIV funding declines, countries need to step up by increasing domestic financing for HIV programmes and building long-term plans for a more sustainable response.​ Nigeria is one of the countries to lead the way. Swipe to see how ➡️​ www.unaids.org/en/2025-worl... ​

The Government of the Netherlands will contribute €18.2 million per year from 2026 to 2029 to UNAIDS for the global HIV response. Thank you, the Netherlands, for your strong leadership. This will help us deliver on our shared promise of ending AIDS. @nlmissiongeneva.bsky.social

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. The HIV response has always shown what humanity can achieve when we stand united. Global collective action has saved millions of lives, but shrinking funding now puts this progress at risk. Leaders must recommit to ending AIDS and saving lives.

Most low-income countries with heavy HIV burdens cannot close resource gaps on their own. Debt constraints already limit their ability to invest in HIV programmes, and funding cuts have further weakened their responses to HIV.​ Global solidarity is needed now, more than ever.​ #WorldAIDSDay2025​

Science has made it possible for people living with HIV, including pregnant women, to live healthy lives and protect their babies from HIV.​ But sudden funding cuts in 2025 disrupted essential care.​ Swipe to see the impacts in Ghana and across Sub-Saharan Africa➡️​ www.unaids.org/en/2025-worl...

In 2025, sudden US funding cuts and reductions from key donors shocked the global AIDS response.​ Today, we're releasing a new report showing how these disruptions unfolded & the resilience of communities and countries protecting progress.​ Join live at 2pm CET: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1x...

Gender based violence, including digital violence, drives girls out of school; making them more vulnerable to violence, HIV, exploitation, and early pregnancy. As we start #16Days, we join UN Women in calling for the protection of women and girls from all forms of violence.

1.4 million children are living with HIV. A figure the world cannot accept. On #WorldChildrensDay, UNAIDS calls on leaders to close the paediatric treatment gap by ensuring babies are born HIV-free, and every child is tested, treated and reached, no matter where they live.

For 10 years, #YoTrabajoPositivo has travelled across Spain, raising awareness and advocating for the labour rights of people living with HIV. UNAIDS applauds @trabenpositivo.bsky.social and Spain for this shared effort for equality and inclusion. www.unaids.org/en/resources...

From 17-23 November, @coalitionplus.bsky.social is organizing the 6th edition of the International Testing Week across 47 countries. As funding for the HIV response collapses, 5.3 million people still do not know their HIV status, making this campaign more urgent than ever. Find out more:

Stigma and discrimination keep people living with and affected by HIV from the health services they need. We must dismantle these barriers, because doing so saves lives. Know more: unaids.org/en/resources...

🤔 Can I get HIV from shaking someone’s hand or standing close to someone living with HIV who is coughing? Answer is simple: NO. Learn the facts and debunk the myths.

UNAIDS estimates that every US $1 invested in HIV prevention saves US$7 in treatment and care later. Investing in prevention saves lives AND money.

Stigma. Discrimination. What’s the difference when it comes to HIV? Here’s what you need to know: www.unaids.org/sites/defaul...

People living with HIV have the right to live free from discrimination. Dignity is not optional - it’s essential.

HIV targets have been a driving force in the AIDS response—mobilizing countries & global efforts. They have supported the expansion of treatment, harnessed viral load suppression to prevent transmission & positioned the AIDS response at the forefront of global health efforts. #GlobalAIDSStrategy2031
