Cambodia just hit the global 95–95–95 HIV targets — the first country in Asia-Pacific to do it — which means 95% of people with HIV know their status, 95% of those are on antiretroviral treatment, and 95% on treatment are virally suppressed. It’s a huge milestone after they’d already reached 90–90–90 back in 2017, and it’s being celebrated as the result of decades of partnership with UNAIDS, the government, communities and people living with HIV.
They credit practical, trusted and accessible services for getting here: more testing (including self-testing), long-acting PrEP, multi-month ART dispensing, better integration with the health system, plus peer-led counselling and community-run outreach that reached key populations. Social protection and free healthcare also helped build trust and keep people on treatment.
But it’s not over — Cambodia still had an estimated 958 new infections in 2025 (about 84% among key populations and their partners), and the goal is under 250 new cases a year by 2030. With external funding dropping, they’re shifting to stronger domestic financing, full integration into primary care and continued community leadership to fight stigma, close gaps and keep progress sustainable.
