Efforts to achieve the goal of ending AIDS by 2030 are stalling due to an increase in new infections in some global regions.

An Oshana Region-based AIDS activist went public about her HIV status 21 years ago and has since not looked back, advocating to end stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.

Namibia has made significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, coming very close to meeting the 95-95-95 testing, treatment, and viral suppression targets of UNAIDS.

Namibia has received an award from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in recognition of its remarkable progress towards reaching the UNAIDS 95–95–95 targets and progress towards ending the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2030.

Although the government has made good progress in managing the spread of HIV/AIDS, new infections or defaults on treatment are still a concern.

Limited resources and poverty among people in rural areas are hampering efforts to end the spread of HIV/AIDS in Namibia.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services is collecting data on how to improve response to HIV/AIDS as part of the new strategic framework for 2023, aimed at intensifying the fight against the pandemic.

The United States of America has listed Namibia among the six countries to share strategies on epidemic control measures with other countries.

90% of HIV-positive children in the Ohangwena Region have their viral load suppressed to the extent that the virus is no longer detectable.

The United States Agency for International Development in Namibia says levels of viral load in nine out of 10 children with the virus are below detection levels.
