The year 2025 has been disastrous for HIV control programmes. The organization UNAIDS is calling on governments and donors to renew their commitments to combat the spread of the epidemic. Reduced financial aid has serious consequences for the effectiveness of HIV control and prevention programmes. UNAIDS warns of the risk of a resurgence of the epidemic due to insufficient funding. The organization emphasizes the need to restore international support and commitments from governments and donor organizations. Without adequate financial resources, the progress achieved in previous years may be lost.
