GOAL 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES Key Facts: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS New HIV infections continue to decline in most regions. More people than ever are living with HIV due to fewer AIDS-related deaths and the continued large number of new infections with 2.5 million people are newly infected each year. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission remains low among young people, along with condom use. More orphaned children are now in school due to expanded efforts to mitigate the impact of AIDS. While the target was missed by 2011, access to treatment for people living with HIV increased in all regions. At the end of 2011, 8 million people were receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV. This total constitutes an increase of over 1.4 million people from December 2010. By the end of 2011, eleven countries had achieved universal access to antiretroviral therapy. Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases The global estimated incidence of malaria has decreased by 17 per cent since 2000, and malaria-specific mortality rates by 25 per cent. In the decade since 2000, 1.1 million deaths from malaria were averted. Countries with improved access to malaria control interventions saw child mortality rates fall by about 20 per cent. Thanks to increased funding, more children are sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets in sub-Saharan Africa. Treatment for tuberculosis has saved some 20 million lives between 1995 and 2011.
