Chapter 1
Conclusion
To accelerate prevention and care, while limiting the social devastation now unfolding, rapid expansion of HIV/AIDS treatment in the countries hardest hit by the pandemic is a public health necessity. Treatment with antiretroviral medicines is effective and is much cheaper than a few years ago; it saves lives and will help to prevent the social and economic disasters outlined in this chapter. The necessary response is described in the following chapter, which deals with the bold initiative to deliver treatment to 3 million people with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2005 and explains how this can help strengthen health systems.
