On World AIDS Day 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that 21.3 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are now receiving antiretroviral treatment, significantly improving life expectancy. WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, highlighted reductions in new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths, noting that the number of new infections outside Sub-Saharan Africa now exceeds that within the region for the first time in 2023.


Seven countries have met the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets for HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression, with the region’s overall progress at 90-82-76. Moeti emphasized that achieving HIV elimination by 2030 requires protecting human rights, addressing social determinants such as poverty and gender inequality, and tackling stigma. She also underscored the importance of community involvement in HIV care strategies and called for continued investment and policy reforms to ensure universal access to prevention and treatment.
