The 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day will be marked on

1 December 2018. Since 1988, the AIDS response has
made significant progress and today millions of people
living with HIV are leading healthy and productive lives. But
we still have miles to go, as the latest UNAIDS report
shows, and one of the challenges remaining is knowledge
of HIV status.
HIV testing is essential for expanding treatment and
achieving the 90-90-90 Targets. It also empowers
people to make choices about HIV prevention, so that they
can protect themselves and their loved ones.
Many barriers to HIV testing remain and UNAIDS
estimates that more than 9.4 million people living
with HIV still do not know their status. Stigma and
discrimination deter people from taking an HIV test. Access
to confidential HIV testing remains an issue of concern.
Many people get tested only after becoming ill and
symptomatic. This leads to HIV treatment being initiated
late, undermining its many benefits for both treatment and
prevention. At the same time, there are many new
opportunities to expand access to HIV testing. Self-testing,
community-based testing services, and multi-disease
testing are helping people to know their HIV status.
HIV testing programmes must be expanded. For this, we
need political will and investment, as well as novel and
innovative approaches to HIV testing that are fully
leveraged and taken to scale.

campaign ideas and materials via PANCAP.org.
