Of the 38 million people living with HIV globally, almost 75% live in low- and middle- income countries, and 27% are not on treatment. We are committed to enabling access to our medicines to benefit people affected by HIV, regardless of their income, location, status, age or gender.
We improve our access to medicines
Our access to medicines strategy considers the specific challenges faced in terms of epidemic burden and economic status.
The strategy includes all low-income, least-developed, middle income and Sub-Saharan African countries (developing countries) where the unmet need for anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is greatest.
Our Policy Papers in HIV and AIDS
By working together with our national partners, we are helping to drive greater access to treatments.
We are also encouraging a positive environment for the continued development of new treatments options and preventative approaches, to support PLHIV and those at risk of HIV infection.

Fast-Track Cities

Our partnership with the Fast-Track Cities initiative is testament of our ongoing support towards meeting UN’s HIV-free future goal.
