UNAIDS

UNAIDS, or the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, is an international organization that coordinates efforts to combat the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Established in 1996, it brings together various UN agencies, governments, and civil society to promote prevention, treatment, and support for those affected by HIV/AIDS. UNAIDS aims to reduce infections and mortality rates through advocacy, research, and funding, ultimately striving to achieve the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030. Its work emphasizes human rights, gender equality, and access to healthcare for all individuals.
