World AIDS campaigns 2024 [1]

[]

Date: 2025-01

This World AIDS Day, I want to emphasize the importance of knowing one’s HIV status. There are an estimated 530 000 people living with HIV in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, but just 38% of them know that they are HIV positive.



Only those who know their [HIV] status can access treatment, live healthy lives and prevent transmission to others.



Providing voluntary HIV testing services must remain a priority for all our countries, along with ensuring access to treatment and care. And those who test negative should have access to prevention services to help them stay HIV free.
