Colombia is working toward international epidemic control targets for HIV. While 89.4% of diagnosed individuals have achieved viral suppression and 81.01% receive antiretroviral therapy, the country faces difficulties meeting the UNAIDS ‘95-95-95’ goals for 2030.

Experts indicate that achieving these targets requires improving timely diagnosis and continuous care, alongside efforts to dismantle social stigma and misinformation. Dr. Andrés Cuestas of GSK Colombia noted that overcoming prejudice is essential to encourage testing and healthcare access.
