By the end of 2007 an estimated 33 million people worldwide were living with HIV. That same year, some 2 million died of AIDS. Globally, less than one person in five at risk of HIV has access to basic HIV prevention services. Only 31% of people who needed HIV treatment had access to it by end-2007.
Following the commitment by G8 members and, subsequently, heads of states and governments at the 2005 UN World Summit, the UNAIDS Secretariat along with their partners, have been engaging in consultations to define the concept and a framework for universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care by 2010.
