The beginning of 2030 is in 3.5 years. That seems rather short.
Remember their recent issues with transmission of Measles, those point towards gaps in the public health system, I would think. Not the best starting position for such an anti HIV campaign.
Nonetheless, I hope the attempt is genuine, and wish them the best of luck.
That’s not a fair comparison. Measles are highly contagious and viruses can survive for hours on contaminated surfaces. HIV on the on the other hand requires much closer contact. I can share a glass with an HIV infected person all day without any risk, but staying in the same room a measle infected patient left an hour earlier would be a pretty dumb idea for an unvaccinated person.
Additionally the 95-95-95 goal¹ originally developed by the WHO is ambitious but far from eliminating all transmission of the HI virus.
¹ (95 % of people living with HIV knowing about their infection, of which 95 % (90 % of total) receive state-of-the-art treatment, of which 95% (86 % of total) reach undetectable viral load meaning they can’t infect others)
