Early HIV diagnosis could reduce AIDS-related deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean: PAHO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One-third of people living with HIV are diagnosed late, ofte<\/em>n with advanced HIV disease. Ahead of World AIDS Day 2025, PAHO calls for expanded access to testing, treatment, and prevention.<\/em><\/p>

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) urges countries of the Americas to strengthen their response to HIV, warning that around one-third of people living with HIV are diagnosed too late, when their immune system is already severely weakened and their lives are at risk.

The call comes ahead of\u00a0World AIDS Day<\/a>, observed on 1 December, and aims to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis, immediate initiation of antiretroviral treatment, and access to comprehensive care\u2014critical measures for preventing advanced HIV disease, saving lives and reducing stigma.

According to the latest data, an estimated 2.8 million people were living with HIV in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2024. While the Caribbean achieved a 21% reduction in new infections since 2010, Latin America recorded a 13% increase over the same period. AIDS-related deaths declined from 42,000 to 27,000 in Latin America and from 12,000 to 4,800 in the Caribbean.

\u201cOur Region has made significant progress\u2014from expanding access to long-acting medicines to adopting simplified treatments that transform lives,\u201d said PAHO Director Dr. Jarbas Barbosa. \u201cEven so, the fight is not over. Each year, 38,000 lives are lost in the Americas to AIDS-related causes. Behind every number is a story, a family, a dream cut short,\u201d he added.

Around 14% of people living with HIV in Latin America and 15% in the Caribbean are unaware of their diagnosis. In addition, among those who are diagnosed, about one-third are identified at an advanced stage, which increases the risk of opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis, cryptococcosis, or histoplasmosis.

In this context, expanding access to HIV\u00a0screening and diagnosis, initiating antiretroviral therapy\u00a0immediately for those who test positive, and ensuring access to\u00a0pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (known as PrEP and PEP) for HIV-negative\u00a0individuals\u00a0at high risk of infection or who have had an\u00a0HIV exposure are key\u00a0measures that can help accelerate the elimination of HIV as a public health problem.

New forms of long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis, such as lenacapavir, which is administered every six months, may also play a key role in expanding prevention options and advancing HIV elimination efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advances in medicine and public health have enabled rapid HIV diagnosis and the development of effective methods for combined prevention and treatment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Current antiretroviral therapies are very safe and effective, achieving viral suppression to undetectable levels in the blood, a situation in which the virus is not transmitted sexually.

\u201cTo accelerate progress, prevent AIDS-related deaths, and improve the quality of life of people living with the virus, we must focus on expanding diagnosis, increasing access to PrEP, and optimizing antiretroviral treatment,\u201d Dr. Barbosa noted.

With support from\u00a0Unitaid<\/a>, PAHO is implementing a regional project to reduce mortality from advanced HIV disease by strengthening evidence and data generation, introducing new tests to diagnose tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and cryptococcosis, and promoting equitable access to treatments for opportunistic infections.

Under the theme\u00a0\u201cZero AIDS Deaths by 2030\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0this year\u2019s World AIDS Day campaign seeks to raise awareness about advanced HIV disease, highlight the stories behind the cases, and encourage a collective response\u2014from governments and health professionals to society at large\u2014to achieve elimination by 2030.

As part of the commemorative activities, a\u00a0virtual event<\/a>\u00a0will be held on 5 December to launch the Regional Alliance for Ending AIDS in the Americas, an initiative aimed at strengthening coordination among government institutions, communities, international agencies, and decision-makers to drive innovation toward HIV elimination.

HIV\/AIDS is one of more than 30 communicable diseases and related conditions that PAHO aims to eliminate by 2030 under its Elimination Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
