The report noted that globally, 4,000 people a day are still being infected with HIV.

The report, titled; “In Danger,” and released by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS noted that donors pulled back, and countries now test and treat fewer people, even as they miss key targets.Speaking at its launch, UNAIDS Director, Winnie Byanyima, said progress in prevention and treatment of HIV is faltering around the world, putting millions of people in grave danger.

It indicates that HIV investments have not replaced lost international funding, mainly due to worsening economic conditions. “Over the past two and a half years, I have seen many similarities between COVID-19 and HIV. It saddened me how hard some patient groups need to fight for recognition, how stigma, misinformation, and denialism can promote illness and death, and how slowly interventions reach vulnerable populations,” he said.shows that 70 per cent of new infections are in groups designated as “key populations” for their particular vulnerability to infection.

It also indicates that people who inject drugs have 35 times the risk, sex workers 30 times the risk, and transgender women 14 times the risk.
