Cyprus is among the first countries to meet the United Nations’ HIV targets, achieving a treatment rate of around 98 per cent, according to the AIDS Solidarity Movement.
“The main driver of Cyprus’ success in HIV has been the close collaboration between the community, patient groups, clinicians and policymakers,” said the organisation’s president, Christos Krasidis.
By meeting the UN’s 95-95-95 targets, Cyprus has ensured that 95 per cent of people living with HIV know their status, 95 per cent of those diagnosed are on treatment, and 95 per cent of those receiving treatment have a suppressed viral load.
Cyprus currently stands at 95 per cent, 98 per cent and 95 per cent respectively.
