WHO flags key challenges to global HIV response at International AIDS Conference
World Health Organisation - "The World Health Organization is flagging 4 key challenges as the international community meets at the International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa, from 18–22 July 2016. The Organization is highlighting the need to renew attention to HIV prevention, whilst maintaining momentum on scaling up access to HIV treatment. It is also signalling the growing emergence of antiretroviral (ARV) drug resistance and the need for sustainable financing of the global response.
(...) Globally, progress on HIV prevention has stalled. In 2015 there were 2.1 million new HIV infections – marginally fewer than the 2.2 million in 2010. In some regions, and among some groups, infections are rising. In some places where the epidemic had been under control, for example in some urban populations of men who have sex with men, it is re-emerging."
The four key challenges include: Prevention, Treatment, Drug resistence and Financing for a stustainable response.
