On World Day to Combat AIDS, WHO (World Health Organization) pointed out that the virus can be fully fought in 2030, reducing to zero the number of deaths from the disease. According to the WHO, by 2020, it will be possible to diagnose 90% of cases of infection and keep them all under treatment. However, this goal faces a major challenge.

"About half the people who have HIV do not know it ainda.Por, a common effort is needed to offer testing to all the world's population, mainly to the risk zone, as homosexuals, sex workers and drug addicts," said Gottfried Hirnschall, who heads the wHO AIDS department.

More than 1.5 million people died last year around the world due to AIDS. Another two million people have been diagnosed with the virus in 2013, and about 70% of them live in developing countries. Currently, 13 million patients are antiretroviral therapies, a number that is only a third of patients who need medication.

In poor countries, the situation worsens, especially in child care. According to the WHO, only 25% of children receive appropriate medicine against AIDS. But the UN body also indicates progress in some countries a few years ago faced an emergency situation.

According to the representative of Aides, the largest European NGOs to combat the disease, Francesca Belli, in Rwanda, for example, more than 80% of patients are having access to treatment. The country estimated to have invested EUR 12.7 million in the fight against viruses.
