‘Prevention crisis’ is hampering global HIV response

United Nations, July 19 (UNI) Complacency over HIV and AIDS has created a “prevention crisis” that risks destabilising efforts to reach the key 2020 target of fewer than 500,000 new HIV infections per year, the head of the UN agency in charge of fighting the pandemic has warned.
Describing his appeal as a “wake-up call” to the global community, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé explained that “partial successes” in saving lives and stopping new infections - some 1.4 million since 2010 - had resulted in a lack of urgency among Member States.
This is despite the fact that 180,000 children became infected with HIV last year, missing the 2018 target of protecting all youngsters from the virus, Sidibé said.
