. Held in New York on 22–23 June 2026, the High-Level Meeting marked the final United Nations High-Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS before the 2030 deadline for achieving global AIDS targets. The adoption of the Declaration sends an important signal of continued political commitment to sustain progress
Key takeaway The Declaration is the culmination of weeks of intensive negotiations among Member States and extensive engagement with communities, civil society organizations, people living with HIV and development partners.
Why this matters
The new political declaration adopted at the High-Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS marks a crucial step towards achieving the global AIDS targets by 2030. By reaffirming their commitment to end AIDS as a public health threat, Member States have sent a strong signal of their continued political will to address emerging challenges and protect progress made so far. The declaration's emphasis on strengthening country ownership and leadership, as well as mobilizing adequate resources for HIV responses, is particularly significant. This is because sustainable domestic and international financing will be essential to achieving the 95-95-95 targets and ensuring universal access to HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression services. The involvement of communities, civil society organizations, and people living with HIV in the negotiation process has also ensured that the declaration reflects the needs and concerns of those most affected by the epidemic.
