The Minister outlined India\u2019s progress and key strategies in the ongoing fight against HIV\/AIDS, including the 5th phase of the National AIDS and STD Control Programme (2021-2026), fully funded by the Government of India. As per the recent India HIV Estimations 2023 report, over 2.5 million people are living with HIV in India, but thanks to concerted efforts, the adult HIV prevalence is at 0.2 % and estimated annual new HIV infections are at around 66,400. New annual HIV infections have decreased by 44% since 2010, outperforming the global reduction rate of 39%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndia has made great strides in combating HIV\/AIDS through innovative programs and robust partnerships,\u201d the Minister said, pointing to a variety of youth-targeted initiatives like Red Ribbon Clubs in educational institutions and mass-awareness activities such as the annual RED RUN Marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smt. Patel pointed out that \u201cIndia offers comprehensive HIV and Syphilis testing to all pregnant women with more than 30 million free HIV tests being conducted annually\u201d. \u201cIn total, more than 1.7 million people are receiving free Anti-retroviral Therapy (ART) through public healthcare systems\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also highlighted India\u2019s role as the world\u2019s largest supplier of anti-retroviral drugs. The country currently supplies over 70% of global anti-retroviral medicines, ensuring affordable access for nations in need. &#8220;We are proud to contribute to the global fight against HIV\/AIDS by making quality treatment accessible worldwide,&#8221; said the Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smt. Patel said that \u201cefforts to address stigma around HIV have been bolstered through the HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act 2017, which ensures that all Indian states appoint ombudsmen to handle grievances and promote HIV prevention policies. Additionally, India\u2019s approach to integrating national health programs, including efforts to tackle tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and non-communicable diseases, is helping address co-morbidities faced by people living with HIV\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister concluded her address by urging continued global cooperation, stating, \u201cBreaking silos and building synergies is the mantra of the Government of India. Through collaboration, we will strengthen the fight against HIV\/AIDS and build a healthier world for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government of India remains steadfast in its goal of ending HIV\/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 through inclusive strategies, partnerships, and renewed multilateralism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New annual HIV infections have
