Big news: We have reached the tipping point on AIDS!



Huge news. For the first time in the history of AIDS, we have reached a tipping point in the fight against the disease.

According to new data from UNAIDS, in 2013, 2.3 million people were added to HIV/AIDS treatment, surpassing the number of new HIV infections in that year. If we keep increasing the number of people on treatment and decreasing the number of new infections, we can end the disease in just 15 years.

Although we have always been careful to note that achieving the tipping point does not mean that the fight against AIDS is over, or even close to over, it is a major victory worth celebrating. For the first time in the history of the disease, we are finally getting ahead of the curve.

Big thanks to all the activists who have supported global AIDS programs with ONE over the last decade!
