🚨 On this #WorldAIDSDay2025, we sound the alarm: AIDS-related deaths in our region are up 48% since 2010, while globally numbers decline. Why? Only half of the people living with #HIV get treatment. We must end stigma, discrimination and legal barriers, and expand access to prevention, treatment & care to reverse this trend.
