How is it possible that, in 2018, an estimated 1.7 million people acquired HIV?
Frontline AIDS - "Almost forty years in to the epidemic, it’s not as if we don’t know enough about HIV, how it’s transmitted and the devastating impact it can have on people’s health.
In short, we’ve got stuck. We’ve allowed ourselves to believe that “AIDS is almost over”. This has led to a complacent mind-set, allowing political will and financial commitment to be redirected elsewhere when, in fact, to bring these numbers down and get even close to meeting internationally agreed targets to reduce HIV infections, there must be adequate and predictable funding for the AIDS response."
