00:00The U.N. AIDS warned Monday that global funding cuts, growing inequality and setbacks to human rights are now threatening
00:09decays of progress in the fight against HIV-AIDS.
00:12The U.N. agency is now warning that the tremendous scientific progress is now being jeopardized by declining investment and
00:20unequal access.
00:21It is a report that tells two stories. The first one of extraordinary scientific progress.
00:31Today we have prevention medicines so effective that if they reached everyone who needs them, we can realistically end AIDS
00:45as a public health threat.
00:47The second story is a warning. Funding cuts, rising inequality, attacks on human rights, shrinking civic space.
01:01Together they are putting decades of progress at risk.
01:07According to Biyanyima, the biggest obstacle to ending AIDS is no longer scientific but political.
01:12The survey says the question is no longer whether we can end AIDS. The question is whether we choose to
01:22end AIDS.
01:24The end is no longer limited by science. It's limited by inequality, by political choices.
01:31Whether we end AIDS will not be decided in the labs. It will be decided by political choices.
01:40The United to End AIDS report examines the impact of funding disruption and global progress towards ending AIDS as a
01:46public health threat by 2030.
