全球領導人與衛生機構已發出嚴重警告：在2030年前終結愛滋病作為公共衛生威脅的使命目前正處於危險之中。
Global leaders and health organizations have raised a serious alarm: the mission to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is currently at risk.
經過數十年的進展，國際對愛滋病的撥款在2025年減少了15億美元，達到了近二十年來的最低點。
After decades of progress, international funding for HIV/AIDS dropped by $1.5 billion in 2025, reaching its lowest point in nearly twenty years.
這種下降在很大程度上源於美國外國援助的減少，而該援助歷來是全球應對機制的支柱。
Much of this decline stems from reduced U.S. foreign assistance, which has historically been the backbone of the global response.
其直接後果是毀滅性的，1,700個服務站點關閉，成千上萬的醫護人員失去了工作。
The immediate result has been devastating, with 1,700 service sites closing and thousands of healthcare workers losing their jobs.
聯合國愛滋病規劃署警告稱，如果這種趨勢持續下去，我們可能會看到數百萬新增感染病例和可預防死亡案例。
UNAIDS warns that if this trend continues, we could see millions of new infections and preventable deaths.
預防計畫如檢測和保險套發放等已遭受深度削減，對弱勢群體的影響尤為嚴重。
Prevention programs, such as testing and condom distribution, have seen deep cuts, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations.
我們擁有比以往任何時候都更先進的治療和預防工具；然而，由於財務和政治障礙，這些創新仍難以獲取。
We have more advanced treatments and prevention tools than ever before; however, these innovations remain inaccessible due to financial and political barriers.
今天終結愛滋病與其說是一項科學挑戰，不如說是一場政治考驗。
Ending AIDS today is less of a scientific challenge and more of a political test.
