00:00It's the world marks World AIDS Day. UNAID is urging global leaders to take urgent action.
00:06The agency calls for renewed global solidarity and continued international support,
00:10especially for countries most in need.
00:13With domestic funding unable to fill the gap alone, ongoing global aid is vital.
00:18The global response to HIV has suffered its most significant setback in decades,
00:23according to the UN report released in November.
00:26Today, over 40.8 million people are living with HIV worldwide.
00:311.3 million new infections occurred in 2024,
00:34and 9.2 million people are still not accessing treatment.
00:39Abrupt reduction in international HIV assistance in 2025
00:42have also deepened existing funding shortfalls.
00:46According to the body, over 60% of all women-led HIV organizations
00:51have also lost funding or been forced to suspend work.
00:55Other HIV prevention services have been hit hard too.
00:59The number of people using PrEP HIV prevention medicines
01:02have fallen by 64% in Burundi, 31% in Uganda, and 21% in Vietnam.
01:10Bye for now.
