| Summary: | For the past 30 years, HIV has united the international community in an unprecedented fashion. Grassroot groups have mobilized in both the north and the south; policy-makers and donors have worked with civil society, researchers and the private sector, and the epidemic response has inspired new thinking and medical innovation. The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) era was epitomized by the HIV response. For example, the remarkable progress on antiretroviral therapy has put the world closer to reaching the global target on reducing AIDS-related deaths. Since 2000, two million HIV infections have been averted in children as a result of pregnant women living with HIV being able to access antiretroviral medicines. This progress has motivated the global HIV community to commit to fast track the response to end AIDS by 2030, a target in the new development era. |
