Several technical and normative agencies have established 2030 as the target date where HIV should no longer represent a major public health threat, assuming that all benchmarks are met [7]. However, the number of people living with HIV continues to grow due to both life-saving treatment for HIV and new HIV acquisitions. Thus, there will soon be over 40 million people living with HIV, all in need of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to preserve life with a secondary benefit of U= U where people living with HIV who sustain viral suppression have no risk of onward HIV transmission. Moreover, millions of people around the world will continue to need access to different forms of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) until the risk of HIV acquisition becomes negligible. It is increasingly clear that the level of resources for HIV will not increase given other threats to health including rapidly emergent infectious disease epidemics, the health effects of climate change, and the move towards integrated universal healthcare systems. Data from the People Living with HIV Stigma Index 2.0 collected from 2020 to 2022 have demonstrated sustained stigma and particularly high burden of stigma among youth [8]. In data from more than 10,000 cisgender women living with HIV from 11 countries across sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 1 in 10 had experienced blackmail related to their HIV status, and this was associated with 35% decrease in adjusted odds of reporting current ART use (aOR 0.65, 95% CI 0.51–0.85)[9]. Moreover, young people living with HIV aged 18–24 were more likely to report enacted stigma in healthcare settings than people aged 25 and above [8]. Higher burdens of stigma affecting youth may be one of the critical drivers of both lower viral suppression rates among young people living with HIV and higher PrEP discontinuation rates among young women [10–12]. It simply is not possible to end HIV as a public health threat in successive generations when it is youth who are disproportionately at risk of HIV acquisition and experience suboptimal HIV outcomes if living with HIV [13]. Resistance mutations have long undermined commonly used first-and second-line treatment regimens used in lowand middle-income countries, resulting in sustained mortality among people living with HIV who were using treatment as prescribed. The switch to dolutegravir over the past few years as an INSTI is central to the plan to improve treatment outcomes given lower levels of resistance. However, historically, the prevalence of resistance mutations has not been evenly distributed among people living with HIV with higher burdens among marginalized communities, including sexual and gender diverse communities, sex workers, and people who use drugs [14]. Stigma drives intermittent care leading to the emergence of primary mutations and large sexual networks facilitate the propagation of these mutations. The barriers that, in part, drove the emergence of resistance remain present,
