Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if she will undertake a stocktake review of her Department's bilateral HIV programmes to assess gaps and shortcomings of her Department's response compared to its international commitments.

The UK’s pledge of £1.1 billion to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria makes us the second largest donor during the fifth replenishment period. This support will help provide enough lifesaving anti-retroviral therapy for 1.3 million people living with HIV. As an international leader on HIV we will use our influence to ensure the world delivers on the global commitment to end AIDS by 2030.

The 2013 review of the 2011 UK HIV Position Paper ‘Towards Zero Infections’ identified the integration of HIV with wider development needs as a key strategic priority and we have no plans for a separate further review of the UK’s HIV response.
