Abstract

In 2016, countries agreed on a Fast-Track strategy to “end the AIDS epidemic by 2030”. The treatment and prevention components of the Fast-Track strategy aim to markedly reduce new HIV infections, AIDS-related deaths and HIV-related discrimination. This study assesses the economic returns of this ambitious strategy.
