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.”

The first time, it happened almost by accident.

Just hours after delivery, a baby born with HIV in Mississippi was given high doses of three antiretroviral drugs. More than three years later, doctors say the little girl has no evidence of the life-threatening disease in her blood, despite being off medication for nearly two years.

Now doctors say another child born with the virus appears to be free of HIV after receiving similar treatment. The case report was presented at the annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston this week.
