The UK is a world leader in efforts to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030, including through our major investment in the Global Fund.

Our programmes focus on integrating the HIV response, building on improvements in access to treatment, while seeking to reduce new infections, particularly among adolescent girls, women and other groups still left behind who face stigma and discrimination. DFID has no immediate plans to review this approach, which is based on the evidence of what works.
