An historic opportunity to end AIDS in Africa
UNAIDS - "A decade of progress has inspired the once unthinkable—that the AIDS epidemic can be ended as a public health threat. A decade of transformation has set the stage, and the global community is united behind the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.
Progress in eastern and southern Africa, the world’s most affected region, is driving global optimism. In the region, the number of people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy has more than doubled since 2010, reaching almost 12.5 million people by June 2017. New HIV infections in eastern and southern Africa have declined by a third in just six years, while AIDS-related deaths in the region plummeted by 42% over the same period."
