Current global spending on HIV\/AIDS was estimated at \u00a312 billion ($20 billion) in 2014 and needs to reach \u00a321 billion ($32 billion) by 2020 in order to change the trajectory of the deadly disease.<\/p>\n<p>Diane Sheard, UK Director of ONE, said:<strong> \u201cThe progress we\u2019ve made against HIV\/AIDS is so powerful that it\u2019s easy to get lulled into a false sense of security about the size of the fight in front of us. The world is still nearly \u00a38 billion short each year of what it will take to end this disease, and those missing pounds, dollars and naira won\u2019t grow on trees. With the trajectory of the epidemic and millions of lives at stake, need governments, companies, and philanthropists to step up and provide the resources needed to stop AIDS in its tracks. On this year\u2019s World AIDS Day, it\u2019s time to think differently about the way we finance the fight against HIV\/AIDS.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the top lines of the 2015 ONE AIDS Report, which is available for download <a href=\"http:\/\/www.one.org\/aids\">here<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We\u2019re starting to see a <strong><u>dangerous level of complacency<\/u><\/strong> in the global fight against HIV\/AIDS, and it could undo the real progress made in recent years. The plateauing of many donor governments\u2019 spending puts a premium on increased domestic spending by countries with high HIV rates, on finding new sources of money, and on more effective spending of existing resources.<\/li>\n<li>The next five years will be a <strong><u>unique window<\/u><\/strong> in the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic. If we can aggressively scale-up investments and programmes over the next five years \u2014 closing the \u00a38 billion ($12 billion) per year funding gap \u2014 we could prevent nearly 8 million new infections by 2020 and bend the curve of the disease towards zero new infections. Without this scaling up, , the epidemic will outpace response measures and, by 2030, could undo the progress we\u2019ve made.<\/li>\n<li>Although the leaders of 46 <strong><u>sub-Saharan African countries<\/u><\/strong> promised in 2001 to increase their domestic spending on health programmes to 15 per cent of their overall budgets, in the 14 years since, only six have followed through. If the other African governments were to spend just 1 per cent more on their health programs, and then spent only one-fifth of that increase on AIDS programmes, it would be enough to buy anti-retroviral drugs for more than 7 million more people.<\/li>\n<li>Social and legal barriers for <strong><u>men who have sex with men and transgender persons<\/u> <\/strong>in many countries increase their vulnerability to contracting HIV and make it less likely that they will seek the testing and treatment they need. These barriers will need to be addressed if the world is to turn the tide against the AIDS epidemic.<\/li>\n<li>Some 74 per cent of adolescents in Africa who contract HIV are girls, making AIDS a leading cause of death for young women. <strong><u>Adolescent women and girls<\/u> <\/strong>face unique social and economic pressures that increase their likelihood of becoming infected, yet they are often left behind in many of today\u2019s AIDS programmes. Their needs must be addressed if we are going to stop the AIDS epidemic.<\/li>\n<li>Whether world leaders step up to fully replenish the <strong><u>Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria<\/u><\/strong> in 2016 will be the first real test of whether we\u2019ll win this fight. Amid difficult budget environments and pressing global challenges, not only will the biggest donor governments need to increase their investments, but new and emerging global health donors will need to step forward.\u00a0 The UK should pledge to up \u00a31.2\u00a0billion for the Fund as well as mobilising private sector commitments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sheard added: <strong>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to give a speech calling for the end of AIDS in our lifetimes, but it\u2019s another thing entirely to deliver the necessary funding to make the goal a reality.\u00a0 The Government must play its part and pledge continued support of the Global Fund, which is being replenished next year, with an ambitious pledge of up to \u00a31.2 billion.\u00a0 It is also crucial to emphasise that it cannot just be the \u2018business-as-usual\u2019 path of donor governments doing the lifting: African governments can, and must, step up too. They owe it to their own citizens. This must be complemented by the private sector, whose innovation and involvement is essential. Millions of lives depend on whether or not the world steps up now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"buffer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a new report published on World AIDS Day, the ONE Campaign warned of a growing complacency in the global fight against HIV\/AIDS and sounded the alarm over an estimated $12 billion annual shortfall in what\u2019s needed to finally stop the epidemic.
