Despite the reduction of the number of new cases of HIV infection and AIDS-related deaths over the last few years, many people don't have access in terms of preventive therapy. And those living with HIV do not always have the access to the treatment. 

In December 2019, over 1,600 new cases of HIV infection were observed in Ukraine; 228 people succumbed to AIDS. The Centre for Social Health admitted that the HIV morbidity rate among Ukrainian youngsters (aged 15-24) shows a stable tendency to reduction.
