- 5.3 million people didn’t know they were living with HIV in 2024. We’re working to change this. From Ukraine to Mozambique, we’re closing the access gaps in testing, prevention and treatment services. Since 2020, through The Rocket Fund, we have tested over 834,000 people for HIV worldwide.

- As Elton John explains, opt-out HIV testing saves lives. He breaks down what it is and why it matters. Our pilot in London has already proved this approach works, and we’re thrilled to see it championed in the UK’s new HIV Action Plan to reach more people nationwide.
- Human rights belong to everyone. They are not negotiable or conditional. Yet around the world we are witnessing a rise in governments restricting freedoms that keep people safe. This #HumanRightsDay, Richard Pyle writes about why LGBTQ+ rights are key to human rights and ending AIDS.🔗 bit.ly/4iLw9bq
- The new UK HIV Action Plan aims to make PrEP easier to access online and that’s essential if we’re going to reach zero new cases by 2030. Our digital PrEP pilot in London is already paving the way, with the potential to increase PrEP coverage by 60% across all seven local authorities.

- Today, the UK government has announced a new £170 million HIV Action Plan for England, a major step toward ending new HIV transmissions by 2030. At the heart of the plan is opt-out testing, pioneered by the @eltonjohnaidsfoundation.org, helping more people get diagnosed and into care.
- This has been the toughest year for the global HIV response in decades. It feels like the world is looking away again. Every minute, someone dies from AIDS-related causes. Not for lack of tools but for lack of attention and political will. This #WorldAIDSDay, don’t look away.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and highly effective tool to prevent HIV. Taken as a daily pill, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV through sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed. Last year our partners connected 37,000 people to PrEP, tripling our reach between 2023 and 2024!
