When HIV progresses to AIDS, it remains a significant cause of mortality among women, children and adolescents. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects the interdependence and complexity of a changing world and the imperative for collective action. The HIV/AIDS/TB response is no exception: the epidemic cannot be ended without addressing the determinants of health and vulnerability and the holistic needs of people at risk of and living with HIV/TB. Their concerns must be at the forefront of sustainable development efforts. To end the epidemic, community responses to HIV must be integrated into national AIDS plans, from the planning and budgeting phases, to the implementation, monitoring and evaluation phases.
