<p>Ending new HIV infections and preventing AIDS-related deaths is a critical part
of the UK government’s renewed focus on ending preventable deaths of mothers, new-borns,
and children by 2030.</p><p>The UK is a world leader in efforts to end the AIDS epidemic.
Last year the UK made a £1.4 billion pledge to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and
Malaria for the 6th replenishment covering 2020 to 2022. This supports the commitment
to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030. In 2018 alone, the Global
Fund provided 18.9 million people with treatment in 2018 and protected nearly 700,000
babies from being infected by their mothers.</p><p>We are working to expand access
to treatment, while reducing new infections, particularly among adolescent girls,
women, and other marginalised populations, who face stigma and discrimination.</p>
