Summary
A new UN report warns that unprecedented cuts to global aid have caused the worst crisis in the HIV response's history. Decades of progress have been undone, with HIV infections among women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa still rising, and the 2025 AIDS-related death toll more than double the global target needed to end the pandemic. The sharpest drop in global development assistance is blamed for this reversal.
