HIV and AIDS…
November 22, 2007
HERE is a reason to celebrate…. UNAIDS said on Tuesday November 20th that many fewer people have HIV than it thought before. The international body now estimates that 33.2m have the virus, not the 40m or so it reckoned a year ago. This drop is a result of better counting, not a change on the ground. In particular it appears that India has fewer infections than was thought before. But here is another reason to be hopeful: the number of newly infected people is continuing to drop. Better, the number of deaths from AIDS is also falling. Together these suggest that prevention and treatment efforts (for the latter, read drugs) are finally getting some results.
