ABSTRACT
Even before the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, progress in the global AIDS response was not on track to reach the 2020 UNAIDS HIV targets. In 2019 an estimated 38 million people were living with HIV, 12.6 million remained untreated and 690,000 people died of AIDS. In that year, 1.7 million people acquired HIV, a 23% drop from the figure in 2010. In the UK, successful combination prevention efforts (condoms, early testing and treatment, pre-exposure prophylaxis) have resulted in rapid declines in transmissions, particularly among men who have sex with men. Sustained efforts could lead to elimination of local transmission of HIV.
