World leaders meet for a high-level meeting on AIDS

Jun 04, 2011 Letters

Thirty years into the AIDS epidemic, and 10 years since the landmark UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, the world will come together to review progress and chart the future course of the global AIDS response at the 2011 UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS from June 8 in New York.
Member states are expected to adopt a new Declaration that will reaffirm current commitments and commit to actions to guide and sustain the global AIDS response.
Evidence from the AIDS response has never been more compelling. New UNAIDS data clearly show that steady progress is being made towards zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths through universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
The gains are real, but fragile, and have not reached everyone in need. There are still 10 million people waiting for HIV treatment. And for every one person starting treatment, two people become infected. Stigma and discrimination continue to be obstacles.
Accelerating progress will require global solidarity and partnership — especially now, in these times of fiscal austerity. Countries face new opportunities and challenges through issues such as innovative financing, technology transfer and the integration of AIDS and health and other services.
The 2011 High-Level Meeting on AIDS is a unique global opportunity for partners to meet and move the AIDS agenda forward.
