Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what position the UK will take at the United Nations High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS in June on ensuring equitable global access to long-acting HIV prevention and treatment tools, including measures to address intellectual property barriers and high costs that limit access in lower-income countries.
The High-Level Meeting comes at a critical moment for the global HIV response and offers an opportunity to reaffirm international commitments to end AIDS for good. The UK has endorsed the Global AIDS Strategy 2026-2031 and will work to ensure the political declaration upholds its ambitions, particularly on human rights and gender equality, as well as harnessing the opportunity presented by long-acting injectable HIV prevention and treatment.
