HIV prevalence in developing regions (excluding sub-Saharan Africa)

Annual number of AIDS deaths in sub-Saharan Africa

HIV prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa

Every day, nearly 7,500 people become infected with HIV and 5,500 die from AIDS

Some encouraging developments

The number of people infected by HIV declined

Expansion of antiretroviral treatment services

The number of people who die from AIDS has started to decline

The majority of those living with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa

In almost every region, women represent a growing share of people living with HIV

Prevention programmes are yielding results

Since 2000-2001, HIV prevalence among young women attending antenatal clinics has declined in 14 of 17 most-affected countries

The proportion of women and men who become sexually active before the fifteenth birthday fell between 1990 and 2007 in seven countries and increased in two

The rate of condom use among men aged 15 to 24 increased

Planning for children orphaned by AIDS is increasing, but tangible support is slow in coming

Several countries are making progress in providing orphans and vulnerable children with a minimum package of services

Many countries are also integrating polices for children affected by AIDS into national development plans

Despite tremendous progress, use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets falls short of global targets

There has been less progress in treating malaria than in preventing it

The proportion of children with fever who received antimalarial medicines dropped from 41% in 2000 to 34% in 2005

Treatment with the more effective ACT was 6% or less between 2004 and 2006

Prevention programmes and improved access to more effective antimalarial drugs can substantially reduce malaria cases and deaths

Large increases in funding and attention to malaria have accelerated malaria control activities

Progress towards tuberculosis targets is mixed

In 2006 there were an estimated 1.7 million deaths due to tuberculosis and 14.4 million people infected with the disease

The number of new tuberculosis cases peaked in 2004

Between 2005 and 2006, however, progress in detection slowed down

Halving the tuberculosis prevalence rate by 2015 is unlikely

The success rate for the treatment of tuberculosis under the ‘DOTS’ Directly Observed Treatment Short-course

DOTS programmes are helping to mitigate the relative impact of the disease

The prevalence rate for tuberculosis and the death rate are falling faster than its incidence

DOTS has not yet had the impact on worldwide trasmission and incidence needed to achive the ‘Stop TB Partnership’ targets of halving the world’s 1990 prevalence and death rates by 2015
