Multi-Stakeholder Task Force for the 2021 High-Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS
Comunicado en respuesta a la adopción de la Declaración Política sobre VIH/SIDA 2021
La Declaración Política representa un avance pero el camino por delante para acabar con la epidemia del VIH es largo y el tiempo para cumplir los compromisos internacionales se está acabando. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.
The Multi-Stakeholder Task Force welcomes the adoption today by the United Nations General Assembly of the 2021 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS.
Four decades after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported the first known cases of HIV/AIDS in its historic report of June 5 1981, the 2021 Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS represents a transformational moment in the global AIDS response. Communities and civil society voices calling to get back on track to end AIDS by 2030 through supporting a fully funded, human rights- and evidence-based response have been heard by the global community.
We affirm the progress represented by the Political Declaration, even as we are disappointed by some critical omissions and weaknesses. We pledge our action and vigilance to ensure that these are addressed as the work of moving towards an AIDS-free world continues.
