AIDS is a disease that can cause death. But UNAIDS says about facts on aids,the current foster AIDS-related deaths worldwide at the lowest level since 2005, which fell by 21 percent. Globally, the number of new infections of HIV in the year 2010 has decreased. UNAIDS is the UN programs that address the issue of HIV / AIDS said that this is due to the large expansion in the ease of access to treatment.
“We are on the verge of significant breakthroughs. We have seen a large scale in access to HIV treatment has a dramatic effect on a person’s life everywhere,” said Michel Sidibe, UNAIDS executive director, as quoted by BBC News, Tuesday (22/11 / 2011).A recent analysis revealed the number of people living with HIV has reached a record 34 million and sub-Saharan Africa has increased dramatically. But about half of that amount eligible to receive treatment.
UNAIDS estimates that last year there were 700,000 deaths could be avoided because of better access to treatment. It also helps reduce new HIV infections thus less likely to infect others.The UN said the number of new infections of HIV 30-50 percent lower because there is now universal access to prevention and treatment for people with HIV. As in Namibia, access to treatment has reached 90 percent and condom use rose to 75 percent resulting in decreased infection by 60 percent in 2010.
