United Nations Cambodia press release

Cambodia has achieved the global 95–95–95 HIV targets, becoming the first country in Asia and the Pacific to reach this historic milestone. 

The announcement jointly made by the Royal Government of Cambodia and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS marks a major step in Cambodia’s progress towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. It also comes as 2026 marks 30 years of Joint United Nations Programme support to Cambodia’s HIV response – three decades of partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia, communities, civil society, development partners and people living with and affected by HIV.

The 95–95–95 targets mean that 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of people who know their HIV-positive status are receiving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people on treatment have achieved viral suppression.

It is worth noting that Cambodia was one of the only seven countries globally to achieve 90-90-90 targets in 2017, three years ahead of the deadline.
