IMAGINE THE HEADLINES: AN END TO AIDS.
It’s within reach—but only if the world acts now.
The Global Fund has already saved 70 million lives and transformed the fight against HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.
With renewed investment, it could save 23 million more lives and prevent 400 million new infections from these diseases, contributing to goals like ending the AIDS epidemic.
This is real hope, but only if world leaders invest in the Global Fund now.
WE CAN END AIDS IF WE CHOOSE
Every minute, someone dies of HIV. That’s 630,000 lives every year. But there is hope.
An end to AIDS is within reach.
We now know what it takes:
- find everyone living with HIV
- treat everyone who needs it, and
- stop the virus in its tracks.
Countries like Botswana, Denmark, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe are proving what’s possible, with 95% of people living with HIV reached, treated and virally suppressed.
New innovations are revolutionising treatment.
From the first antiretrovirals that turned HIV from a death sentence into a manageable condition, to new long-acting injectables that free people from daily pills, science keeps expanding what’s possible.
Global solidarity is making the impossible possible.
Through the Global Fund—the world’s largest multilateral funder of the fight against AIDS—the world is coming together to provide 26% of all international HIV financing, save millions of lives and move closer to ending AIDS for good.
Hope alone won’t end AIDS—action and investment will.

A global story of hope and action.
The fight against HIV and AIDS shows what hope in action looks like.
This Special Edition of The Hope Report spotlights how decades of investment and innovation have turned what used to be a death sentence into a story of survival, and how renewed funding through the Global Fund partnership can finish the job and help end AIDS for good.
Hope isn’t passive, it’s active.
And this report proves it.
