🎗AIDS : Unequal, unprepared, under threat
UNAIDS issued a stark warning that if leaders fail to tackle inequalities the world could face 👉7.7 million AIDS-related deaths over the next 10 years. UNAIDS further warns that if the transformative measures needed to end AIDS are not taken, the world will also stay trapped in the COVID-19 crisis and remain dangerously unprepared for the pandemics to come.
👉Since 24.5 million people were on antiretroviral therapy at the end of June 2019, millions of people could be at risk of harm—both to themselves and others owing to an increased risk of HIV transmission—if they cannot continue to access their treatment. A recent modelling exercise estimated that a six-month disruption of antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa alone could lead to 👉500 000 additional AIDS-related deaths.
End inequalities. End AIDS. End pandemics. TOGETHER
