Update on AIDS: Decrease in Global Death Toll, Worries over Anti-Gay Laws

Geneva

630,000 people died from the effects of AIDS, 20,000 less than in 2021, says the UN agency UNAIDS. But there are also concerns about increases in certain regions, including due to strict anti-gay laws. Substantial progress is being made in southern Africa in the fight against HIV and AIDS. HIV is the virus that can cause AIDS. Countries such as Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana and Rwanda meet the ’95-95-95 target’. This means that 95 percent of people with HIV know what their HIV status is, 95 percent are treated with medication and that the virus is under control in 95 percent.
