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.”

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
