The UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets aim to end the AIDS epidemic. It seeks to ensure that by 2025: 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) know their status, 95% of diagnosed individuals receive sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 95% of those on ART achieve viral suppression. This chapter presents the literature on the global progress toward these targets, highlighting significant advancements and persistent challenges, particularly for people living with disabilities, to meet these targets. While a 2022 estimate suggests that 86% of PLHIV knew their status, 76% were on ART, and 71% achieved viral suppression, disparities remain across regions and population sub-groups due to gaps in healthcare infrastructure and widespread HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. People with disabilities (PWDs) face heightened vulnerability to HIV due to increased risks of sexual violence and barriers to healthcare access, which is further exacerbated by experiences of stigma and discrimination associated with their disability status. Special provisions, including disability-friendly healthcare facilities and tailored health education, are crucial for their inclusion in HIV services. Addressing these challenges requires integrated health systems, inclusive policies, and enhanced research to ensure equitable progress toward ending AIDS by 2030.

The UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets aim to end the AIDS epidemic. It seeks to ensure that by 2025: 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) know their status, 95% of diagnosed individuals receive sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 95% of those on ART achieve viral suppression. This chapter presents the literature on the global progress toward these targets, highlighting significant advancements and persistent challenges, particularly for people living with disabilities, to meet these targets. While a 2022 estimate suggests that 86% of PLHIV knew their status, 76% were on ART, and 71% achieved viral suppression, disparities remain across regions and population sub-groups due to gaps in healthcare infrastructure and widespread HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. People with disabilities (PWDs) face heightened vulnerability to HIV due to increased risks of sexual violence and barriers to healthcare access, which is further exacerbated by experiences of stigma and discrimination associated with their disability status. Special provisions, including disability-friendly healthcare facilities and tailored health education, are crucial for their inclusion in HIV services. Addressing these challenges requires integrated health systems, inclusive policies, and enhanced research to ensure equitable progress toward ending AIDS by 2030.
