Usage notes
Launched in 1996 and based in Geneva, it is the only UN joint program with multiple co-sponsoring agencies. It promoted the 95-95-95 targets for diagnosis, treatment and viral suppression. Reductions in donor funding in 2025 forced deep cuts to its operations and discussion of its future.
