People at higher risk of HIV, such as gay men and drug users, face increasing criminalisation worldwide, with some countries reintroducing harsh laws. Despite progress in reducing HIV infections and deaths, recent US funding cuts threaten to reverse gains, especially affecting key populations reliant on donor-funded services. UNAids warns that without sustained funding and policy support, the goal to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is at serious risk.
