On July 19th,
The Economist highlighted a report from UNAIDS, a United Nations Agency with
the goal of fighting AIDS. AIDS-related deaths surged upwards from 1990 to its peak in 2005 of 2.3 million per year, but since
then, the number of those who have lost their lives to the virus have dropped off. The
decrease in deaths can be partially attributed to the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids
Relief (PREFAR), which President Bush initiated in 2003 and President Obama renewed in 2008. Since then, the number of people
receiving antiretroviral medication has dramatically increased; the figure
stands at over 8 million in poorer regions of the world. Today, while AIDS remains a serious crisis,
the number of AIDS-related deaths has fallen to 1.7 million, a level unseen
since 2000.
