Prevailing against pandemics by putting people at the centre, in eastern Europe and central Asia provided a platform for the proposal of a joint revision of social and legal enablers in the region to achieve the proposed 2025 targets. UNAIDS Cosponsors, governments and civil society partners presented their views on the issue and the joint action to be taken.
Based on the regional data, the 90â90â90 treatment cascade in the region is far off the targets, having reached only 70â44â41. Lev Zohrabyan, the UNAIDS Strategic Information Adviser for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, noted that one of the reasons for this is late diagnosis: in 2019, 53% of all new HIV cases in the region were registered in the later stages. In his opinion, it shows that testing strategies need revision and require enabling societal conditions.

When Baktygul Israilova found out that she could not adopt a child because of her HIV status, she was shocked. “I’m used to the fact that people living with HIV are constantly discriminated against, but why can’t they become parents and give their love and care to a child from an orphanage?” she said.
