HIV prevalence in developing regions (excluding sub-Saharan Africa)
Annual number of AIDS deaths in sub-Saharan Africa
HIV prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa
Every day, nearly 7,500 people become infected with HIV and 5,500 die from AIDS
Some encouraging developments
The number of people infected by HIV declined
Expansion of antiretroviral treatment services
The number of people who die from AIDS has started to decline
The majority of those living with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa
In almost every region, women represent a growing share of people living with HIV

Prevention programmes are yielding results
Since 2000-2001, HIV prevalence among young women attending antenatal clinics has declined in 14 of 17 most-affected countries
The proportion of women and men who become sexually active before the fifteenth birthday fell between 1990 and 2007 in seven countries and increased in two
The rate of condom use among men aged 15 to 24 increased

Planning for children orphaned by AIDS is increasing, but tangible support is slow in coming
Several countries are making progress in providing orphans and vulnerable children with a minimum package of services
Many countries are also integrating polices for children affected by AIDS into national development plans
Despite tremendous progress, use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets falls short of global targets

There has been less progress in treating malaria than in preventing it
The proportion of children with fever who received antimalarial medicines dropped from 41% in 2000 to 34% in 2005
Treatment with the more effective ACT was 6% or less between 2004 and 2006
Prevention programmes and improved access to more effective antimalarial drugs can substantially reduce malaria cases and deaths
Large increases in funding and attention to malaria have accelerated malaria control activities
Progress towards tuberculosis targets is mixed

In 2006 there were an estimated 1.7 million deaths due to tuberculosis and 14.4 million people infected with the disease
The number of new tuberculosis cases peaked in 2004
Between 2005 and 2006, however, progress in detection slowed down
Halving the tuberculosis prevalence rate by 2015 is unlikely

The success rate for the treatment of tuberculosis under the ‘DOTS’ Directly Observed Treatment Short-course
DOTS programmes are helping to mitigate the relative impact of the disease
The prevalence rate for tuberculosis and the death rate are falling faster than its incidence
DOTS has not yet had the impact on worldwide trasmission and incidence needed to achive the ‘Stop TB Partnership’ targets of halving the world’s 1990 prevalence and death rates by 2015
