By 2030, AIDS could be a thing of the past, a new UNAIDS report has concluded
Since 2000, the number of new HIV cases has dropped by 35 percent — from 3.1 million to 2 million. The drastic decline is attributed in large part to greater accessibility to antiretroviral drugs, community outreach programs and the effective mobilization of advocates worldwide, according to the report.
“Ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030 is ambitious, but realistic,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement. “We also know that it is essential to a fair and equitable future.”

We’ve mapped less than 10 percent of the ocean with the resolution we’ve mapped 100 percent of the Moon and Mars, and yet when we send rovers to Mars what’s the first sign of life they probe for? Water. David Gallo’s ‘Underwater Astonishments’ reminds us of how little we know about our own blue marble planet and the 97 percent of its livable habitat that is saltwater. Remember that we air-breathing terrestrials only inhabit about 300 feet of space from prairie dog burrows to the tops of the trees where birds nest. Above that is only heaven and space. Hundreds of people have now gone into space, calling it “the last frontier,” but last year Jim Cameron became only the third human being ever to reach the lowest point on our planet, seven miles down in the Pacific’s Challenger Deep.

With the number of people being diagnosed with HIV falling, AIDS could one day be eradicated, experts claim.
A report from the United Nations said this was thanks to better access to drugs that can both treat and prevent the incurable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS.
This meant the aim of ending the AIDS epidemic was not ‘merely visionary’ but ‘entirely feasible.’
- At 2.5 million, the number of new infections in 2011 was 20 per cent lower than in 2001
- Deaths from AIDS also fell to 1.7 million in 2011, down from a peak of 2.3 million in 2005
