WASHINGTON: The global fight against HIV has stalled from shrinking resources due to COVID-19 and other crises, according to a new report presented at the International AIDS Conference in Montreal, Canada.

"The response to the AIDS pandemic has been derailed by global crises from the colliding pandemics of HIV and COVID, to the war in Ukraine and the resulting global economic crisis," UNAIDS executive director Winnie Byanyima told reporters. Globally, 38.4 million people were living with HIV in 2021, with 650,000 deaths from AIDS-related illnesses.

The UN says the HIV response in low- and middle-income countries is US$8 billion short of the amount needed by 2025.Anthony Fauci, the United States' top infectious disease official, said he was worried that fatigue over HIV was holding back resource allocation. Andriy Klepikov, executive director of the Alliance for Public Health, an AIDS advocacy group in Ukraine, called for special attention to his country in light of the invasion by Russia.
