In 2011, the diagnosis HIV set of 2, 5 million people, which is 20% less than in 2001. AIDS deaths also dropped to 1, 7 million in 2011, compared with 2 to 3 million in 2005. Experts believe that the day when AIDS even erase from the face of the earth, like smallpox or English fever. According to the UN, thanks to greater access of patients to medicines that can not only treat HIV But also to prevent new infections, considered particularly ruthless killer human immunodeficiency virus ceases to be such.
And that means the end of the epidemic AIDS and already in the foreseeable future. Presently available drugs for HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) allow to maintain the life and health of HIV-infected for decades. In many cases, the life expectancy of patients generally limited to the natural aging process, unless the body is somehow no longer respond to the drug.
The UN report speaks of "the foundations to be laid in the case of the final extermination of AIDS." The most affected by this disease are the poorest regions of Africa, where the infection is 1 in every 20 inhabitants (it is 25 times higher than in Asia). Since 1995, there has been widely introduced HAART, which saved 14 million lives.
In addition, studies show that timely treatment and reduces the number of newly infected people. In scientific laboratories, meanwhile, are some of the initial clinical trials of HIV drugs of the new generation that can theoretically achieve remove the virus from the body, or long-term reduction in viral load to undetectable levels.
