AIDS at 26, are we there yet?
Coinciding with World AIDS Day, the Editor-in-Chief of Retrovirology, Kuan-Teh Jeang has published an editorial commenting on the progress made and challenges that still remain, 26 years after AIDS was first recognised.
The editorial presents startling statistics on the state of AIDS more than a quarter of a century after it was first characterised – approximately 33 million people are infected with HIV worldwide, with roughly 10,000 individuals becoming HIV positive each day. Dr Jeang comments on the progress made with antiretroviral drugs (despite significant problems with resistance), the emergence of a new class of drugs in the past year, the pitfalls encountered and challenges still faced with vaccine development, as well as the significant problems with access to treatment.
