Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)is caused by human immunodeficiency virus(HIV),which was found by French scientists 40 years ago,12 years after AIDS was firstly reported by US scientists.2 TheHIV/AIDS pandemic has spread to every country of theworldwith over 84 million infections and more than 40 million deaths since the start of the epidemic.3 According to Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS(UNAIDS),there are 38.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA)in 2021.4 In order to realize the Ending AIDS Plan by 2030,the UNAIDS made the intermediate target of less than 500,000 new HIV infections and 500,000 AIDS-related deaths in 2020.5 In the 2021 United Nations(UN)75th General Assembly,the General Secretary reported that the 2020 target of Ending AIDS Plan was not reached,6 with 1.7 million HIV infections and 690,000 AIDS-related deaths in 2019.7 In order to bring the Ending AIDS Plan back on track,UNAIDS setup a higher goal of“95-95-95,”meaning the percentage for all PLWHA who know their HIV status.
