AIDS by the numbers

New HIV infections among adults and children were estimated at 2.3 million in 2012, a 33% reduction since 2001. New HIV infections among children have been reduced to 260000 in 2012, a reduction of 52% since 2001. AIDS-related deaths have also dropped by 30% since the peak in 2005 as access to antiretroviral treatment expands.

The treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries

Antiretroviral therapy reached 8 million people by the end of 2011, a twenty-fold increase since 2003. In 2011, for the first time, a majority (54%) of people eligible for antiretroviral therapy in low- and middle-income countries were receiving it. This chart shows the gap in 2011 between the number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy and the number of people eligible for treatment. Source: UNAIDS 2012 Global Report
