Championing zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths worldwide | #EndAIDS | Executive Director: @Winnie_ByanyimaThe Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads and inspires the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. UNAIDS unites the efforts of 11 UN organizations—UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank—and works closely with global and national partners

Core values

- **Addressing HIV-related inequalities and stigma**: UNAIDS works to reduce stigma and discrimination, which are major barriers to accessing HIV services, thereby promoting human rights and equity[1][3][5].
- **Improving access to health services**: Community-based responses and social protection programs help ensure that vulnerable populations, including those often marginalized, have access to essential health services, prevention, treatment, and care[1][2][5].
- **Promoting positive change**: The initiatives aim to alter unjust structures and systems, promote accountability, and support legal empowerment programs, which contribute to broader social and economic development[1][2][3].
- **Enhancing quality of life**: By providing services such as cash transfers, health insurance, education, and other social services, UNAIDS helps mitigate the impact of HIV on individuals and communities, improving their overall quality of life[2][5].
- **Contributing to community well-being**: The focus on community engagement, mobilization, and the integration of community responses with public health systems ensures that the needs of the most vulnerable populations are met, enhancing community well-being[1][3][5].
