On the Fast-Track to Ending the AIDS Epidemic: Report of the United Nations Secretary-General for the High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS

The global commitment to ending the AIDS epidemic, as set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, represents an unparalleled opportunity to end one of the most devastating modern-day health challenges and also to build on the momentum of the AIDS response in order to accelerate results across the sustainable development agenda. Even when confronted with the vast scale of the global AIDS epidemic, the response to HIV has never lost sight of the value and experience of each individual affected, their hopes and frustrations and their right to health and well-being.

Through a fast-track, multisectoral response to AIDS, and through making more strategic use of the machinery built by the response, considerable contributions to a range of Sustainable Development Goals will be made, including on poverty elimination, food and nutrition security, health, gender equality, decent work, reducing inequalities, cities, justice and inclusive institutions and partnership.
