Fiji has declared a national HIV emergency amid a spike in infections as the Pacific nation grapples with a correlating rise in methamphetamine use.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Fiji’s estimate of one in 60 adults living with HIV remains below parts of Africa, where nearly 1 in 35 adults are living with HIV, according to the World Health Organization.
UNAIDS, a United Nations programme, said in a statement on Sept 16 that it was “one of the sharpest increases in new HIV infections globally”.
The Fijian government is urgently expanding testing and treatment to combat a massive surge in new infections, which the United Nations program UNAIDS notes has increased 12-fold over the past 15 years, according to The Associated Press (AP).
“Fiji has recognised the urgency of the moment and is stepping up its response.”

The announcement noted that 59 infants were born with HIV last year, with 18 dying before reaching their first birthday.
The agency praised official plans to launch a needle-and-syringe programme and broaden availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis, a medication used to lower the risk of contracting HIV.
