Noteworthy moves have been made internationally, concerning fight against HIV; however, there remains a major gap, which in turn could prevent the likelihood of attaining success under the UN millennium development goal.

For now, over five million people have access to antiretroviral drugs, which is an increase by 12 times in the last six years.

But yet, it represents a mere one third of the populace, which needed to undergo treatment for HIV virus.

In the year 2008, 38% out of the 730,000 kids had been estimated to be offered antiretrovirals, and low as well as middle-income nations had an access to the drugs.

A new treatment approach named "Treatment 2.0" is what UNAIDS is calling to be implemented immediately, in order to scale up testing and offer treatment.

It is estimated that the new treatment approach could possibly prevent 10 million deaths by the year 2025 and also, lessen infections by one-third.

The only regions, where the incidence of HIV is increasing are the Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Another way of preventing HIV spread is female condoms, but is less accessible to women.

As per the information offered to the UN Population Fund, in 2009, one female condom had been distributed for each 36 of them, all over the world.
