Abstract Although significant progress has been made, the latest data from low- and middle-income countries show substantial gaps in reaching the third “90%” (viral suppression) of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals, especially among vulnerable and key populations. This article discusses critical gaps and promising, evidence-based solutions. There is no simple and/or single approach to achieve the last 90%. This will require multifaceted, scalable strategies that engage people living with human immunodeficiency virus, motivate long-term treatment adherence, and are community-entrenched and ‑supported, cost-effective, and tailored to a wide range of global communities.

The Individual

Internists often provide medical care both to patients with as yet undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and to those with known infection. Through early diagnosis and management of patients with HIV infection, physicians can significantly impact both individual patient health and public health. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of patients with HIV are crucial for the health of the individual and for the public's health, as those with known HIV infection can take measures to avoid transmitting the virus to others.

Sex With Men

Abstract In a national online survey, we assessed awareness and knowledge of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection manifestation among 1748 men who have sex with men (MSM). Only 39% of respondents were aware that acute HIV infection may be accompanied by symptoms. Education and increased access to acute HIV testing may facilitate MSM to appropriately seek acute HIV testing.
