Donor contributions to HIV programmes have declined, with the 2025 funding level the lowest since 2007.

Fiji has announced a national health emergency as HIV infections rise sharply. In 2025, 2,016 people were diagnosed and about 9,100 were living with HIV. The government plans expanded free testing, treatment, PrEP and needle-exchange programs to combat the outbreak, with UNAIDS warning AIDS is not over.
