President Hage Geingob last week said Namibia is on the verge of achieving total HIV/AIDS epidemic control in line with the triple 90 goals, with the country's HIV response standing at 94:96:95.

The US government through its President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar) last year committed nearly N$1.2 billion (US$82 million) for HIV programmes rolled out throughout Namibia.

"The cooperation agreement between Namibia and the government of the United States through Pepfar continues to materially support our HIV/AIDS management programmes, which has enabled us to achieve these gains," further elaborated the head of state.

Since the beginning of Pepfar in Namibia, the US government has invested nearly US$1.2 billion (N$17.8 billion) on HIV programmes in Namibia.

The United Nations programme on HIV/AIDS in 2013 set the 90-90-90 goals to ensure 90% of people who are HIV infected are diagnosed, 90% of those diagnosed be on antiretroviral treatment, and 90% of those who receive ARVs to be virally suppressed.
