I am thrilled to share with you that there has been an amazing and dramatic shift in the global AIDS epidemic and the Foundation is deeply proud to have played its part.
For the first time ever, during 2014 the number of people newly accessing HIV treatment around the world exceeded the number of people diagnosed with the disease.
Why is this so important? Because people living with HIV who are on the right medical treatment are up to 96% less likely to pass on HIV to anyone else. As soon as they are no longer infectious, fewer people are at risk of infection, fewer people get sick or die and the epidemic is in reverse! It’s called the Tipping Point.
