The International Council of AIDS Service Organisations (ICASO), on behalf of its regional secretariats on World AIDS Day, says that AIDS has not gone away - nor should the funding.
Some 4 million people in low- and middle income countries living with HIV were on antiretroviral treatment by the end of 2008. This is one of the results of the world increasingly mobilizing technical and financial resources in response to the HIV crisis over the last decade. The flip side though, as the world marks World AIDS Day on December 1, is that more than 4 million people, who need antiretroviral treatment, do not have access to it.
