UNAIDS’ World AIDS Day report 2022 will be launched for the Asia Pacific region on Wednesday, 30th November in Bangkok, Thailand. The report is called ‘Dangerous Inequalities’ and reveals that inequalities are obstructing the end of AIDS. On current trends the world and region will not meet agreed global targets on AIDS. Millions of lives are at stake. The new UNAIDS report shows that only urgent action to tackle inequalities can get the world’s AIDS response on track. It shows how world leaders can tackle those inequalities and calls on them to be courageous in doing so.
