The global AIDS response has achieved extraordinary gains since 2000, in terms of a halt and the beginning of a reversal in the course of the AIDS epidemic. In 2015, the number of new infections and AIDS-related deaths continued to fall globally while in many settings, risk-taking behaviour has been reduced. Through advocacy for affordable medicines and scaled-up treatment programming, access to lifesaving anti retroviral therapy has improved dramatically and mother-to-child transmission rates continue to fall, resulting in a reduction in the number of children who acquire HIV. Through these important gains, underpinned by historic breakthroughs in science and impressive commitment, leadership and mobilization, notably by civil society and people living with HIV, and unprecedented local resource co -investment, millions of lives have been saved, paving the way towards a confident statement by the international community that ending the AIDS epidemic as a public-health threat is possible within the next 15 years.
