At the UN High Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS earlier in 2021, the UK worked with others to fight hard for a progressive and ambitious Political Declaration, to ensure the highest level of commitment to deliver the UNAIDS Global AIDS Strategy 2021-26 so the world has the best chance of meeting the 2030 goal to end the AIDS pandemic.

The UK continues to support the global AIDS response with major investments such as to the WHO and the Global Fund. These UK investments support countries to help implement actions under the political declaration to prevent new HIV infections and stop AIDS related deaths.
