Fresh Insights: United to End AIDS: the 2026 Special Report

Four decades into the HIV response, the world stands at a crossroads. UNAIDS' new Special Report, United to End AIDS, shows both how far we've come and how quickly that progress could unravel. 

Since 2010, new HIV infections have fallen by 62% and AIDS-related deaths have dropped by 62% in Eastern and Southern Africa. Seven countries of the region have already reached the 95-95-95 testing, treatment and viral suppression targets and new prevention tools like twice-yearly Lenacapavir are reshaping what's possible.  

Yet the region's progress remains fragile.  

In this Fresh Insights session, we break down what this report means for the East and Southern Africa region.
