Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: On the Fast Track to Accelerating the Fight against HIV and to Ending the AIDS Epidemic by 2030 A/RES/70/266 59 (n). Welcome the progress made since the Monterrey Consensus 29 to develop and mobilize support for innovative sources and mechanisms of additional financing, in particular by the Leading Group on Innovative Financing for Development. We invite more countries to voluntarily join in implementing innovative mechanisms, instruments and modalities which do not unduly burden developing countries. We encourage consideration of how existing mechanisms, such as the Gavi International Finance Facility for Immunization, might be replicated to address broader development needs. We also encourage exploring additional innovative mechanisms based on models combining public and private resources such as vaccine bonds, to support strategies, financing plans and multilateral efforts as a means to accelerate the AIDS response; 59 (o). Note with grave concern that the sustainability of providing lifelong HIV treatment continues to be threatened by factors such as poverty, lack of access to treatment and insufficient and unpredictable funding, especially for those left behind, that despite remarkable progress, if we accept the status quo unchanged, the epidemic will rebound in several developing countries, more people will acquire HIV and die from AIDS-related illness in 2030 than in 2015 and treatment costs will rise; therefore, the international community should ensure that resource needs of 13 billion dollars are mobilized for the Global Fund’s fifth replenishment; 59 (p). Commit to mobilizing resource needs of 13 billion dollars for the Global Fund’s fifth replenishment. By leveraging advances in science and applying innovative solutions, the partnership is on track to reach 22 million lives saved since its establishment by the end of 2016. A fully funded replenishment will save an additional 8 million lives by 2020 and deliver economic gains of up to 290 billion dollars over the coming years; Ensuring access to testing and treatment in the fight against HIV and AIDS 60 (a). Commit to the 90-90-90 treatment targets 23 and to ensuring that 30 million people living with HIV access treatment by 2020, with special emphasis on providing 1.6 million children (0–14 years of age) with antiretroviral therapy by 2018, and that children, adolescents and adults living with HIV know their status and are immediately offered and sustained on affordable and accessible quality treatment to ensure viral load suppression, and underscore in this regard the urgency of closing the testing gap; 60 (b). Commit to using multiple strategies and modalities, including, when possible, voluntary, confidential, fully informed and safe community-based testing, according to national context, to reaching the millions of people who do not kno w their status, including those living with HIV, and to providing pre-test information, counselling, post-test referrals and follow-up to facilitate linkages to care, support and treatment services, including viral load monitoring, and to addressing socioeconomic barriers to testing and treatment, including legal, regulatory barriers to community testing, and commit to expanding and promoting voluntary and confidential HIV testing and counselling, including provider -initiated HIV testing and counselling, and to intensifying national testing promotion campaigns for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections; _______________ 29 Report of the International Conference on Financing for Development, Monterrey, Mexico, 18–22 March 2002 (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.02.II.A.7), chap.
