what have we learned?
WORLD AIDS DAY, 25 YEARS LATER:
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? We've made significant global progress, but a one-size-fits-all approach to tackling AIDS on the African continent does not make sense.
THEN: HIV/AIDS CASES DRAMATICALLY UNDERREPORTED
MYSTERIOUS, GLOBAL KILLER
1988
MISUNDERSTOOD AND HIGHLY STIGMATIZED TREATMENT HARD TO ACCESS AND VERY EXPENSIVE
NOW:
THE BEGINNING OF
THE END OF AIDS IS ACHIEVABLE, BUT PROGRESS
VARIES ACROSS AFRICA 16
Reached the Tipping Point
5
Close to the Tipping Point
14
Acceleration Needed
2
Progress Reversed
“The Tipping Point”
Defined as the moment when the total number of people newly infected is equal to or less than the number of people newly added to treatment. WWW.ONE.ORG/AIDSREPORT
JUST HOW DIFFERENT IS PROGRESS? LET'S COMPARE TWO COUNTRIES
Cameroon (21.7m)
NUMBER OF PEOPLE
LIVING WITH HIV
Ghana (25.3m)
PREVENTION OF MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION COVERAGE RATE
8.5% 12% PERCENT OF
= 100,000 people
64%
NATIONAL BUDGET SPENT ON HEALTH
NUMBER OF AIDS DEATHS 95%
34,561
VS
11,625
Achieving the beginning of the end of AIDS is not a foregone conclusion. We must accelerate progress, working country by country to ensure that treatment and prevention services reach all populations in need.
