World Will Fail to Meet 2010 Deadline Relating to HIV/AIDS Care, Warns UN

UN agencies cautioned on Friday that the world will not be able to meet the deadline for the year regarding universal access to HIV/AIDS care and treatment, with the cuts brought in funding schemes reversing any gainful moment.

In a joint report, the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, and the UN Children's Fund UNICEF, informed that the target of universal access could be attained only by a few nations.

"Nevertheless, this report also demonstrates that, on a global scale, targets for universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and care will not be met by 2010”, the report said.

Regardless of speeding up the progress, report counting 183 countries highlighted that just one third of the fraction in need of life saving anti-retroviral drugs to counter HIV, get access to it.

Just 5.2 million people were able to receive such treatment in the previous year in low middle income nations.

The treatment target for the previous year was only fulfilled by eight middle-to-low income nations, which included Cambodia, Cuba and Rwanda, as stated in the reports.

Kevin Moody of the Global Network of People Living with AIDS, said that it was not acceptable that 7,000 people every day gave in to a chronic, preventable illness.
