There were 31,800 new HIV infections in 2022. In 2018, there were 36,200 new infections. That is a 12% drop in 5 years. Not great, but it is a drop.
We were all hoping for a cure. That has not happened. We would have been overjoyed with a highly effective vaccine, but there is no vaccine. So we are left with the long hard fight that will take a hundred years of extreme effort. It is what it is.
What does that effort look like: Of course heavy HIV awareness combined with pushing condoms as much as possible. Beyond that we have the 95-95-95 strategy. If 95% of the HIV cases are diagnosed, with 95% of the diagnosed cases getting antivirals, and 95% of the people getting antivirals having no viral load, it may take decades, but HIV will become a thing of the past. The important part is that this must be a global effort, because if we allow a reservoir of HIV, it will keep coming back.
Sadly, trump decided to freeze funding on this effort. he promises he will return funding at some later date, but it will take years, if not decades to get back to where we were.
