The Fast-Track Cities initiative is a global initiative that was launched on World AIDS Day 2014 in Paris. Hundreds of cities around the world have since signed the Paris Declaration on Fast-Track Cities.

In 2016, the Phoenix Mayor and City Council approved joining the Fast-Track Cities initiative​ and appointed a diverse Ad Hoc Committee representing people living with HIV, medical providers, community-based organizations, local HIV advocacy groups, and government departmets in the HIV field. The City of Phoenix would like to thank our community partners for all the work they continue to do to help meet our targets to end the HIV epidemic:

• 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) knowing their HIV status
• 95% of PLHIV who know their HIV-positive status on antiretroviral therapy (ART)
• 95% of PLHIV on ART achieving viral suppression
• ZERO Stigma

There are currently 34​ Fast-Track Cities in North America, 32 of which are in the United States. Fast-Track Cites work towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 by building upon, strengthening, and leveraging existing HIV-related programs and resources.
