Nearly 40 million people living with HIV with one AIDs death a minute in 2023

Nearly 40 million people were living with HIV last year, according to a new United Nations (UN) report on Monday which stated that over 9 million weren't receiving any treatment, causing the death every minute of someone due to AIDs-related causes.
