especially in sub-Saharan Africa

3. 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
4. In almost every region, women represent a
growing share of people living with HIV

5. 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

7. 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
8. Despite tremendous progress, use of
insecticide-treated mosquito nets falls
short of global targets

10. 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

and 14.4 million people
infected with the disease

Between 2005 and 2006,

14. 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
