@DrTedros "So on World AIDS Day – and every day – WHO is calling on all countries to equalize the response to #HIV"-@DrTedros
"The outbreak of #mpox, shows that infections can move quickly in sexual networks – but with community-led responses and open attitudes to address stigma, transmission can be prevented and lives can be saved"-@DrTedros #HIV
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "While transmission has declined in Africa, there has been no significant decline in #HIV among men who have sex with men in Africa over the past 10 years"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Key populations - men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers, people who inject drugs or are in prison - continue to face many barriers to care. With their partners, these populations make up 70% of all new infections globally"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Nearly 6 million people who are living with #HIV aren't receiving treatment;
A further 4 million people have contracted HIV, but haven't been diagnosed;
Nearly 1/2 of the children who need treatment can't access it"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "650 000+ people died of AIDS-related causes last year and 1.5 million people were infected with #HIV"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "While more than 28 million people are on life-saving antiretroviral therapy, new infections and deaths are not decreasing fast enough; and severe inequalities and inequities prevent people from getting the care they need"-@DrTedros #HIV
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "The #COVID19 pandemic badly disrupted access to treatment and services for #HIV in many countries, while in others like Tigray, conflict, displacement and other humanitarian emergencies are depriving people of access to the care they need"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Finally, yesterday was #WorldAIDSDay – an opportunity to re-affirm and refocus on our shared commitment to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. We have just 8 years left, and we’re not where we need to be"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Meanwhile, the global #mpox outbreak continues to decline, with 620 cases reported last week – more than 90% less than the peak in August. Most cases are being reported from Latin America"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Earlier this week, WHO announced that we will begin using “#mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names will be used for one year while the name “monkeypox” is phased out"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Earlier this week, WHO announced that we will begin using “#mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names will be used for one year while the name “monkeypox” is phased out"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "WHO continues to urge all countries to take a risk-based approach that protects both public health and human rights"-@DrTedros #COVID19
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Gaps in surveillance, testing, sequencing and vaccination are continuing to create the perfect conditions for a new variant of concern to emerge that could cause significant mortality"-@DrTedros #COVID19

@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "WHO estimates that at least 90% of the world’s population now has some level of immunity to SARS-CoV-2, due to prior infection or vaccination. We are much closer to being able to say that the emergency phase of the pandemic is over – but we’re not there yet"-@DrTedros #COVID19

@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "They are all highly transmissible;
they replicate in the upper respiratory tract & tend to cause less severe disease than previous variants of concern;
& they all have mutations that enable them to escape built-up immunity more easily"-@DrTedros #COVID19
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Since the emergence of Omicron, the #COVID19 virus has continued to evolve. Today, there are over 500 sublineages of Omicron circulating"-@DrTedros

@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "The number of weekly #COVID19 deaths reported to WHO has declined slightly over the past 5 weeks, but over 8,500 people lost their lives last week – which is not acceptable three years into the pandemic, when we have so many tools to prevent infections and save lives"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Last Saturday marked 1 year since WHO announced a new #COVID19 variant of concern: the Omicron variant. Omicron has proved to be significantly more transmissible than Delta, and continues to cause significant mortality due to the intensity of transmission"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "Those fleeing conflict or drought, or living in poverty & facing hunger, are also those whose health is the most threatened. In humanitarian crises, immunization, disease surveillance & the treatment of malnourished children can be the difference between life & death"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen @UNOCHA "A record 339 million people will require humanitarian aid in 2023 – 1 in every 23 people on the planet. Humanitarian crises affect people in all aspects of their lives, including reducing their access to health care, often at the exact time when they need it most"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator @JuttaUrpilainen "Our 🌍 is facing a deadly combination of war, starvation and disease.

@DrTedros @EU_Commission @ACTAccelerator "I was also very grateful to sign an agreement with Commissioner @JuttaUrpilainen for a contribution from the 🇪🇺 of €125 million to support WHO’s UHC Partnership, which is supporting 115 countries to progress towards universal health coverage"-@DrTedros

🚨All forms of stigma & discrimination have to stop🚨
On #WorldAIDSDay & beyond, you can play your part & stand up against #HIV related stigma & discrimination by:
✅ Checking your biases
✅ Learning the facts
Globally, 70% of new #HIV infections are among people who are marginalized & often criminalized.
We can only end AIDS by scaling up HIV services and removing structural barriers & stigma and discrimination of key populations in every country https://bit.ly/3H0umi3
#WorldAIDSDay
Only 52% of children living with #HIV are on life-saving treatment.
To end AIDS in all populations by 2030 we need to stop new infections among children and ensure everyone requiring treatment are on quality antiretrovirals https://bit.ly/3H0umi3
