Ending AIDS

This PBS Newshour episode is worth watching in its entirety (9 minutes).

Some takeaways:

  1. The first confirmed long-term remission in a child infected from birth.
  2. The U.N. reached its 2011 goal of providing access to HIV treatment for 15 million people worldwide by 2015, nine months ahead of schedule.
  3. The U.N. goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 is in sight.
  4. Where we are today is the majority of the people we take care of take one pill a day and manage their illness very effectively and plan on living full lives.
