HIV AIDS EPIDEMIC
It has been recognized that, in order to end the HIV epidemic by 2030, HIV treatment will need to be provided to all who are infected. The ambitious but believed to be achievable target has been termed: “The 90-90-90 treatment target.”
• By 2020, 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status. Diagnosed
• By 2020, 90% of all people diagnosed with HIV infection will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy. Treated
• By 2020, 90% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression. Virally suppressed
Through achieving the targets by 2020, it is conceivable that a global end to AIDS is attainable by 2030, with all of the coinciding health and economic benefits that would be anticipated.
