HIV and AIDS

What if  the AIDS epidemic could be ended by 2030? Watch this video to learn more.

US$ 29 billion a year by 2025 will provide for comprehensive HIV services, people-centred, context-specific service integration and the removal of societal and legal impediments to creating an enabling environment for HIV services. Investing fully will lead to preventing hundreds of thousands of AIDS-related deaths and averting millions of new HIV infections.

This infographic discusses how girls and women make up more than half of the 37.7 million people living with HIV. Ending AIDS by 2030 requires that we address girls’ and women’s diverse roles by putting them at the centre of the response.

The recent emergence of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) calls for enhanced cooperation between public health authorities, homeless service systems, and other partners at the local level. HUD strongly encourages CoCs to contact their local public health departments, Healthcare for the Homeless agencies, and other local health partners to ensure the unique needs and opportunities related to the homeless service system are incorporated in plans to prevent and respond to infectious diseases like COVID-19.

The newly launched Homelessness and Infectious Disease Questions Ask a Question (AAQ) desk assists homeless assistance providers, Continuums of Care (CoCs), and other partners with questions about preventing, mitigating, and responding to infectious diseases impacting people experiencing homelessness in their community. The AAQ desk is staffed by Technical Assistance (TA) providers from HUD's disaster response team who are well-versed in promising and emerging practices for infectious disease planning, mitigation, and response in homeless response systems.
