UNAIDS Country Director expects end of AIDS in Bangladesh by 2030

‘Ending AIDS by 2030’ is ‘possible’ for Bangladesh, UNAIDS Country Director Leo Kenny has said.

And for that, on the eve of World AIDS Day, he suggested that HIV programs stress four key elements – focus, scaling up, innovation, and sustainability.

World AIDS Day will be observed on Tuesday in Bangladesh as elsewhere in the world.

Tuesday will be the first World AIDS Day since the new sustainable development goals (SDGs) set the target of ‘ending AIDS by 2030’.

It means that HIV incidence and AIDS-related deaths must come down to a level that will no longer represent a major health threat to any population or country.

To measure this level, the World Health Organisation has set “90-90-90” targets.
