UN Official Says 10 Million HIV-AIDS Deaths can be Prevented by 2025
The man leading the international fight against the epidemic- Michel Sidibe, of the United Nations Program on HIV-AIDS-said that ramping up treatment efforts requires several innovations, including better pill, better diagnostics and better treatment.
"We must reshape the AIDS response," the Globe and Mail quoted Sidibe as saying.
However, UNAIDS officials accepted that treating 15 million people with Treatment 2.0 would cost an estimated 26-billion dollar every year, even if the costs of testing are reduced.We're 10-billion dollars short a year," said Paul De Lay, deputy executive director of UNAIDS.
He added that getting those additional funds will not be easy in tough economic times but insisted that it is a good investment because the number of HIV-AIDS cases will fall and treatment costs will be reduced sharply.
Bill Gates of the Bill n Melinda Gates Foundation, said he supported the new approach but it would take time to implement.
