In his report to his governing board, UNAIDS Sidibe has little new to say about prevention. He does not talk about the stalled prevention among people who inject drugs and urban men who have sex with men in Asia.
"HIV prevention remains a critical element in ending the AIDS epidemic.
Several African countries are actively advancing the HIV prevention revolution.
Kenya has developed an HIV prevention map to 2030, while Mozambique
convened a high-level political consultation on sexual transmission
prevention. Malawi is organizing a national symposium to review the HIV
prevention agenda for better investments and results. In high-prevalence
regions of the world, voluntary medical male circumcision is being rapidly
scaled up to reduce the risk of men acquiring HIV through heterosexual
sex by up to 60%.14 In the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, Mauritius
and Seychelles, I saw first-hand exemplary HIV prevention and support
programmes for key populations."

And he still talks about ending the epidemic instead of transforming it to 'an endemic'.
