Currently, three out of four HIV-positive people know their HIV status.

able to save lives, treat and prevent HIV / AIDS, AIDS is not over yet. "We have a long way to go," he said, adding that "World AIDS Day is a day to commemorate the millions of people who have lost their lives as a result of AIDS-related illnesses, many of which are died due to lack of access to HIV services due to stigmatization, discrimination and criminalization of key populations. "
According to the latest UNAIDS report released last June, many new HIV infections have increased in about 50 countries and new infections. have decreased by only 18% in the last seven years, from 2.2 million in 2010 to 1.8 million in 2017. Although they account for almost half the number of new infections compared to the highest recorded in 1996 (3.4 million), the decline is not enough to reach the target of less than 500,000 by 2020.
AIDS in Brazil
Although it is considered a leading country in HIV / AIDS treatment and research, about 40,000 people are still infected each year and 8,000 die from diseases badociated with the virus in Brazil. Paradoxically, scientific advances in treatment have ultimately stimulated negligence in prevention. This is why UNAIDS and the experts have made it clear in their badysis that the broadening of the large-scale treatment should not be considered as a guarantee.
