In Lima this June, Peru's Health Ministry closed a three-day national gathering by formally recognizing the regions and scientists who have made the most meaningful progress in the country's long struggle against HIV. The ceremony was less a celebration than a reckoning — an acknowledgment that equitable health cannot be decreed from a capital but must be built, region by region, through disciplined use of resources and evidence. Three regions distinguished themselves in 2025, and their example now stands as both a measure and a challenge for the twenty-six that follow.
