Miles to go - The response to HIV in Latin America

12 August 2018

Antiretroviral therapy coverage has been relatively high
and AIDS-related mortality relatively low in Latin America
for many years. However, little progress has been made
towards the region’s 2020 HIV prevention milestone, and
there is evidence of rising incidence of HIV among young
people within key populations. Brazil is playing a key
leadership role in the reinvigoration of HIV prevention,
but political commitment in the region is inconsistent.
