    HIV and AIDS: changing terminology

    January 27 2014

    HIV and AIDS are now two different things

    "In the 1980s and for most of the 1990s in developing countries, being HIV positive means people will develop AIDS and will die because there was little or no access to treatment. I fully understood then that we considered HIV/AIDS as one epidemic. Indeed, we now have two epidemics - HIV and AIDS. HIV positive status and therefore the HIV epidemic is through infection with a virus. The AIDS epidemic is a failure of the health system to diagnose and treat. In 2014, several times more people are on treatment than in 2004. From about 1M people in 2004, we are now treating almost 15M people. We can end AIDS NOW. We can begin the end of the HIV epidemic now too." — As read in Linkedin Group International AIDS Community (IAC) — by Leslie Ramsammy, Commission Member at UNAIDS - LANCET Commission, Principal Contributor
