Overview & More informations

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is the main advocate for accelerated, comprehensive, and coordinated global action on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. On the ground in over 100 countries, UNAIDS works closely with governments and civil society to ensure that evidence-based policies and programmes are in place to respond to the epidemic. UNAIDS also leads and inspires the world in shaping the agenda for the global HIV response.

UNAIDS was created in 1996 as a unique partnership of the United Nations family, bringing together the efforts of 11 UN agencies to fight HIV/AIDS: the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank, and the UNAIDS Secretariat.

UNAIDS's mission is to lead and inspire the world to achieve the end of AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. UNAIDS's vision is of a world free from AIDS.

UNAIDS's work is guided by the following principles:

* **Human rights:** UNAIDS believes that everyone has the right to health, regardless of their HIV status.
* **Evidence:** UNAIDS's work is based on the latest scientific evidence and data.
* **Partnership:** UNAIDS works in partnership with governments, civil society, and the private sector to achieve its goals.
* **Accountability:** UNAIDS is accountable to its partners and to the people it serves.

UNAIDS's work is divided into four main areas:

* **Prevention:** UNAIDS works to prevent new HIV infections by promoting safe sex practices, providing access to condoms, and supporting voluntary medical male circumcision.
* **Treatment:** UNAIDS works to ensure that people living with HIV have access to life-saving treatment.
* **Care and support:** UNAIDS works to provide care and support to people living with HIV and their families.
* ** Advocacy:** UNAIDS advocates for policies and programmes that will help to end the AIDS pandemic.

UNAIDS's work is making a difference in the lives of people living with HIV around the world. In 2018, an estimated 23.3 million people were accessing antiretroviral therapy (ART), up from 15.8 million in 2015. UNAIDS also estimates that 1.7 million new HIV infections occurred in 2018, down from 2.1 million in 2015.

UNAIDS is committed to ending the AIDS pandemic by 2030. With the continued support of its partners, UNAIDS will continue to work to ensure that everyone has the right to health, regardless of their HIV status.
