Deaths due to AIDS were averted
approximately 50, 000 lives saved in 2011
Total death rate in adults declined from 1.02
percent in 2000 to 1.31 percent in 2011
Total death rate among infants declined from
19 percent in 1997 to 5.3 percent in 2011
For children aged 1-4 years the decline was
from 17.1 percent in 1999 to 8.8 percent.

Geographical and age disparities in ART coverage
Early infant diagnosis
Growing need especially with policy change- test
and treat
Adherence and retention in care including
emerging drug resistance
Point of care diagnostic services
Human resource




Universal access can be reached
Further scale-up must address disparities and
inequities
With new evidence and new policies, the number
of persons eligible for ART will increase
Forward-looking policies, more effective and
innovative approaches, together with further
investments
ARVs for treatment and prevention are a
powerful tool towards ending the HIV epidemic
