Nearly 40 million people living with HIV with one AIDs death a minute in 2023

A new United Nations report shows that progress in solving the AIDs crisis has slowed with a person dying every minute of AIDs-related causes.

Nearly 40 million people were living with HIV last year, according to a new United Nations (UN) report on Monday which stated that over 9 million weren't receiving any treatment, causing the death every minute of someone due to AIDs-related causes.

Caspian Energy Media reports with reference to “euronews”, while advances are being made to end the global AIDS pandemic, the report said progress has slowed, funding is shrinking, and new infections are rising in three regions: the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America.

In 2023, around 630,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses, a significant decline from the 2.1 million deaths in 2004.
