New report from UNAIDS shows the blind spot in reaching men with HIV services

OTTAWA/GENEVA, 1 December 2017—On World AIDS Day, UNAIDS has released a new report showing that men are less likely to take an HIV test, less likely to access antiretroviral therapy and more likely to die of AIDS-related illnesses than women.

Studies show that men are more likely than women to start treatment late, to interrupt treatment and to be lost to treatment follow-up.
