HIV – AIDS
Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, the Region of the Americas has contributed with a public health and human rights approach to the global response to HIV with the aim of promoting an accelerated, focused, more effective, innovative and sustainable response, paving the way towards the goal of ending the epidemics of AIDS, STIs and viral hepatitis as public health problems in the Region of the Americas by 2030.

Global strategies and equitable access to health services
The Global Health Sector Strategies on HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections for 2022–2030 (GHSSs) guide strategic responses to achieve the targets of ending AIDS, viral hepatitis B and C, and sexually transmitted infections by 2030. The strategies recommend shared and disease-specific country actions supported by WHO and partners. They consider the epidemiological, technological, and contextual shifts of previous years, foster learning, and create opportunities to leverage innovation and new knowledge. These programmes call to reach the people most affected and most at risk for each disease, and to address inequities. Under a framework of universal health coverage and primary health care, WHO’s programmes contribute to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. (WHO)
